Using position variables
All commands relating to the NC (main axes)
can be assigned a ”position variable” instead of
the absolute value.
This makes sense if you have many products
with similar or the same program sequences.
Here you only have to alter the position variables
in the program when a tool or gripper change is
required.
(refer to ”Examples of programs” in the
handbook)
Softkeys
The symbols on the softkeys are only displayed
when you select ”Delete position variable”. (A
position variable cannot be deleted if it is being
used in the program).
This symbol is displayed if the position
variable to be deleted is already being used in
the program. Select the softkey to jump to the
line in the sequential program where the position
variable is being used.
Delete position variable.
Cancel delete position variable
Attention!
The position variable cannot be deleted until
it is no longer being used in the sequential
program.
Important
When you are working with position
variables remember that these are saved
together with the program. Save the
program again after changing the position
variables.
