Importing tool tables
Refer to your machine manual. The machine
manufacturer can adapt the
IMPORT TABLE
function.
If you export a tool table from an iTNC 530 and import it into a
TNC 620, you have to adapt its format and content before you can
use the tool table. On the TNC 620, you can adapt the tool table
conveniently with the
IMPORT TABLE
function. The TNC converts
the contents of the imported tool table to a format valid for the
TNC 620 and saves the changes to the selected file.
Follow this procedure:
Save the tool table of the iTNC 530 to the
TNC:\table
directory
Select the operating mode: Press the
Programming
key
Call the file manager: Press the
