Defining a workpiece blank
Immediately after you have created a new program, the TNC starts
the dialog for entering the workpiece blank definition. Always
define the workpiece blank as a cuboid by entering the MIN and
MAX points, each with reference to the selected reference point.
After you have created a new program, the TNC automatically
initiates the workpiece blank definition and asks for the required
data:
Working plane in graphic: XY?: Enter the active spindle axis. Z
is saved as default setting. Accept with the ENT key
Workpiece blank def.: minimum X: Smallest X coordinate of
the workpiece blank with respect to the reference point, e.g. 0.
Confirm with the ENT key
Workpiece blank def.: minimum Y: Smallest Y coordinate of
the workpiece blank with respect to the reference point, e.g. 0.
Confirm with the ENT key
Workpiece blank def.: minimum Z: Smallest Z coordinate of
the workpiece blank with respect to the reference point, e.g.
–40. Confirm with the ENT key
Workpiece blank def.: maximum X: Largest X coordinate of
the workpiece blank with respect to the reference point, e.g.
