Connecting CNC programs
With the parameter Connect it is possible to create a 3-dimensional product. The control
automatically executes the bend sequences in the different directions in succession. You
program the control as follows:
1 Create the product in one direction.
2 Create the product in the other direction.
There are now two bend programs of one product in two directions. You connect these
programs as follows:
1 Select the program with the bend sequence in the direction which you want to
execute in the first place. You select the program of the product via the ’product
library’.
2 Go to the ’edit program’ menu. Select the parameter ’connect’. Select the product
ID of the product in the other direction.
3 Select the second program as in step 1. Repeat step 2. If you want to connect two
programs, as in this example, you enter the product ID of the first program. The
cycle is closed.
When you want to execute more than two programs in succession (not necessarily to create a
3-dimensional product) the second program must refer to the third. The third program to the
fourth and so on. The final program of the cycle must always refer to the first program.
To produce products with connected programs the next four actions are necessary.
1 Select the first program
2 Select the Automatic mode
3 Program the amount of products you want to produce with the ’stock count’
parameter.
4 Push the Start key.
When the first program has been finished the second program starts automatically. The
program counter indicates the remaining amount of repeats.
