Recording a teach-in cut
With a teach-in cut the TNC firstly copies the basic settings defined
in the AFC.TAB table into the file
.H.AFC.DEP for each
machining step.
is the name of the NC program for which
you have recorded the teach-in cut. In addition, the TNC measures
the maximum spindle power consumed during the teach-in cut and
saves this value in the table.
Each line in the
.H.AFC.DEP file stands for a machining
step that you start with
M3 or M4 and end with M5. You can edit
all data of the
.H.AFC.DEP file if you wish to optimize
them. If you have optimized the values in comparison with the
values in the AFC.TAB table, the TNC places an asterisk
* in
front of the control settings in the AFC column. Besides the data
from the AFC.TAB table See "Defining the AFC basic settings",
page 379, the TNC saves the following additional information in the
.H.AFC.DEP file:
