3.13 Multiple positioning
Some cycles may be carried out in the tool position or may be associated a multiple positioning so
the cycle may be repeated in several locations. Multiple positioning may be associated with the
following cycles.
• Boring, reaming, tapping, drilling and center punching operations.
• 2D and 3D pockets.
• Bosses.
Use the following keys to select multiple positioning. The positioning moves may be selected with
each one of the following keys:
When using one of these keys, the CNC selects the corresponding positioning and changes the
display on the screen. The CNC keeps the lamp for the selected operation (pocket, boss, boring,
reaming, etc.) on and the bottom of the screen shows the data for that operation.
Associating a multiple positioning with a cycle
A multiple positioning may be associated with a cycle as follows:
1. Definition of the machining cycle, including the position of the starting point.
2. Selection of the type of positioning to be associated with.
3. Programming of the different points of the positioning.
The cycle assumes as first positioning point the starting point of the machining operation. This
point may be modified when defining the positioning.
In 2D and 3D pockets, the reference points for the positioning must be the starting point of the
outside profile.
To de-select a cycle and return to the standard screen, press the key for the selected cycle (the one
with the lamp on) or the [ESC] key.
Multiple positioning in pockets and bosses
The screens of the pockets and bosses will indicate with icons which positioning they have
associated or whether they are alone.
In the positioning, an icon will show the pocket or boss to be repeated and the bottom screen will
give information on its geometry (except in profile pockets). The starting position of rectangular
pockets and bosses may be changed; the positioning movements will be different depending on
whether the starting point is at the vertex or in the center.
Multiple positioning in several locations.
Multiple positioning in a straight line.
Multiple positioning in an arc.
Multiple positioning in a rectangular pattern.
Multiple positioning in a grid pattern.
