Sequential Serial Number Engraving
This method is used to engrave numbers on a series of parts, with the number
being increased by one each time. The # symbol is used to select the number
of digits in the serial number. For example, G47 P1 (####), will limit the serial
number to four digits (P1 (##) will limit the serial number to two digits etc.).
The initial serial number can either be programmed or set manually. For ex-
ample, if it is programmed, G47 P1 (1234), will set the initial serial number to
“1234.”
The initial serial number can also be set manually into a macro variable. The
Macros option does not have to be enabled to do this. Macro variable #599 is
used to hold the initial serial number to be engraved. For example, when macro
variable #599 is set to “1234,” G47 P1 (####), will produce, 1234. See the
Macros section for more information.
Literal String Engraving
This method is used to engrave desired text on a part. The text should be in the
form of a comment on the same line as the P0 statement. For example, G47
P0 (ENGRAVE THIS), will produce, ENGRAVE THIS
