7.7 Saving the contour
Saving the generated contour in Simulation submode
You can save a contour generated in Simulation submode and load
it into smart.Turn operating mode.
Example: You describe the workpiece blank and finished part and
simulate machining of the first setup. Then you save the machined
contour and use it for the second setup.
During contour generation the control saves all contours of the
selected contour group.
The Simulation submode considers the following shift of the
workpiece datum and/or a mirror image:
0: Only move
1: Turn over in the main spindle (mirroring)
2: Rechuck in the counterspindle (shifting and mirroring)
Saving the contour:
Press the Miscellaneous functions soft key
Select the Misc menu item
Select the Save contour menu item
The control opens a dialog box, in which you can
define the following input fields:
Unit: Contour description metric or in inches
Selection of contour group Q
Type of shift H
Length of workpiece shift K: Shift the
workpiece datum
Loading the saved contour
Only add the saved contour to newly created or copied
programs, because all previously generated contours are
overwritten. This action cannot be undone.
In smart.Turn mode of operation, you insert into the program
the workpiece blank and finished part contour that you generated
during simulation. Select the Insert contour function in the ICP
menu.
When inserting in the mode of operation, all contours in all planes
are initially automatically deleted. Then all saved contours in all
planes are loaded from the Simulation submode.
The Save contour function in the Simulation submode converts
all contours in all planes of the selected contour group and the
NC editor replaces all contours. If the program contains contour
groups, the group where the cursor is positioned is replaced
following a confirmation request.
