Management of presets with the preset table

You should definitely manage your presets if:

Your machine is equipped with rotary axes (tilting table

or swivel head) and you work with the function for tilting

the working plane

Your machine is equipped with a spindle-head changing

system

Up to now you have been working with older TNC

controls with REF-based datum tables

You wish to machine identical workpieces that are

differently aligned

The preset table can contain any number of lines

(presets). To optimize the file size and the processing

speed, you should use only as many lines as you need for

preset management.
For safety reasons, new lines can be inserted only at the

end of the preset table.
If you switch the position display to INCH with the MOD

function, the TNC will also show the saved preset

coordinates in inches.

Machine parameter 7268.x can be used to arrange or hide

columns in the preset table as desired (see "List of general

user parameters" page 707).
