Plate Remnant Trace
The Teach /Trace feature also supports the ability to trace in the outline of a plate remnant for use by
a part programmer to create new nests of parts to be cut on the remnant.
The user manually moves the torch (or a pointer) around the plate to define the outline of the material
which rema
ins. When the path is completed (it doesn‟t have to be a closed path), the operator
presses the OK key and the recorded axis motions are written to a standard part program format with
moves recorded as incremental routing moves. The movements will also d
isplay on the control‟s
screen in the same manner as displayed during manual motion commands.
Once recorded, the part program can be uploaded via the serial link, or written to the floppy disk or
USB memory, so that the programming department can use it to update their database to reflect the
remaining material.
When first opened the system defaults to the automatic Teach/Trace mode which is used in
conjunction with an optical head for program generation. In order to use the manual function, simply
select the soft key to choose manual mode.
This will place the control in the manual control mode and also enables the Change Move Speed
button to alter the manual move speed. Pressing the Change Move Speed button repeatedly will
cycle through the programmed manual jog rate settings.
