Custom Smoothing Presets Menu
Pressing F9 – Customize Presets from the Smoothing Setup menu will bring up the screen that allows you to
customize the Quick Setups keys that appear in the Smoothing Setup menu.
There are a total of 99 Smoothing presets. Each Smoothing preset consists of a customizable label and a customizable
set of parameter values that will be copied to the actual parameters P221 through P231 (excluding P229) when such a
preset is selected in the Smoothing Setup Menu or when activated by the “G64 ON” command.
Smoothing presets #1 through #7 are the only presets that can appear in the Smoothing Setup menu and corresponds to
F2 through F8 in that menu. For these presets (#1 through #7), only those that have a non-blank F-key Label will be
appear and be available in the Smoothing Setup Menu. To remove a particular preset from the Smoothing Setup Menu
(presets #1 through #7) , simply delete its Label and leave it blank.
All Smoothing presets can be activated by “G64 ON” in a CNC program or by MDI. Presets activated this way will
still be in effect even after the CNC program is finished. Here are some G64 examples:
G64 ON P1 ;Activate Preset #1 by number
G64 ON "precision mill" ;Activate Preset #1 by label
G64 ON P2 ;Activate Preset #2 by number
G64 ON "contouring mill" ;Activate Preset #2 by label
The “G64 ON” command with a “P” number can be used to activate those presets that do not have a Label.
For more details on G64 see Chapter 12.
WARNING

Corrupt or incorrect values could cause damage to the machine, personal injury,
or both.
