• USER DEFINED TOOL CHANGE POSITION—contains the following tool
change selections for use in a Change Parameters data block to override the
settings made in Program Parameters. Program these User Defined Tool
Change Position settings when the tool specified in the following data block is
different from the tool in the previous block or when the tool specified is
different from the current tool and requires different tool change settings:
• WHERE—moves turret to the selected position:
• DON’T MOVE—perform the tool change at current machine position.
• MOVE TO HOME—the turret will move to the home position for the
tool change.
• MOVE TO XZ—or the turret will move to the defined X, Z position.
When MOVE TO XZ is selected, the Reference and X (Dia) or X (Rad)
fields are available for entering data.
• REFERENCE—determines whether the X and Z locations are relative to
Part Zero or Machine Zero.
• X (Diameter or Radius)—contains the X diameter or radius coordinate
where the turret should move. When the cursor is in this field, the STORE
MACHINE POSITION F2 softkey appears. Select this softkey to store the
current machine position into the field.
• Z—contains the Z coordinate where the turret should move. When the
cursor is in this field, the STORE MACHINE POSITION F2 softkey appears.
Select this softkey to store the current machine position into the field.
• AXIS ORDER—contains the selection for the order the axes will move:
• MOVE X THEN Z—from the current position, the turret moves the X
axis first to the X position then the Z axis to the Z position.
• MOVE Z THEN X—from the current position, the turret moves the Z
axis first to the Z position then the X axis to the X position.
• SIMULTANEOUS—from the current position, the turret moves both
axes together to the X and Z positions.
