Pallet datum management with the pallet preset
table
A preset table for managing pallet datums is available in addition to the
preset table for managing workpiece datums. This makes it possible
now to manage the pallet datums independently of the workpiece
datums.
Pallet datums are an easy way to compensate mechanical differences
between individual pallets.
For determining the pallet datums, there is an additional soft key in the
manual probing functions with which you can also store the probing
results in the pallet preset table (see “Storing measured values in the
pallet preset table” on page 474).
The pallet preset table is configured by your machine tool
builder, see your machine tool manual.
Only one workpiece datum and one pallet datum can be
active at the same time. Both datums are effective in sum.
The TNC displays the number of the active pallet preset in
the additional status display (see “General pallet
information (PAL tab)” on page 73).
