QUICK CODE
June 1999
- CALL TOOL 1
1.) JHCW and highlight the group titled TOOLS.
2.) JHCCW one click. CALL TOOL 1 will be highlighted.
3.) Press the WRITE key to insert the code for calling tool 1 into your program. Your program will look like
this.
Figure 11-4. Program with CALL TOOL 1 added.
Remember that after pressing WRITE you can always edit the program to make minor adjustments to code
that QUICK CODE inserts into your program. You do not have to leave the QUICK CODE display to do this.
But you must remember to reposition the cursor back to the block where you want to add the next item.
QUICK CODE will automatically seek the end of the current block that the cursor is on, so there is no need to
cursor to the end of the block.
We will assume that the material is aluminum and we will not have to edit the inserted code. We also assume
that the work coordinate zero for G54 is at the center of the bolt hole pattern. The QUICK CODE source file
was set up with average spindle speeds in mind. You could have different QUICK CODE files for different
materials. By changing parameter 228 you can quickly change the file that QUICK CODE works with.
