Editing Programs
Nearly every aspect of an existing QC5200 part program can be edited. Specific items and functions that
can be edited include:
• Part fixturing
• Program runtime environment
• Palletizing multiple parts
• Feature properties
• Point filtration
• Initial program settings loaded prior to execution
• Insertion of special steps including comments, delays, sounds, images and messages
• Enabling or disabling the display of run-time graphics
• Optimizing program steps to increase execution speed
• Enabling or disabling full CNC mode
• Selecting program steps
• Cutting, copying, pasting, and deleting program steps
• Inserting new program steps
Part fixturing
The configuration of part fixturing parameters is described earlier in this chapter in the Creating Programs
section.
Program runtime environment
The configuration of program runtime environment parameters is described earlier in this chapter in the
Creating Programs section.
Palletizing multiple parts
A palette is a rectangular arrangement of identical parts organized into a consistent matrix of columns and
rows. The X and Y offsets between parts in the matrix must be the same for all parts.
Once a part program is created and tested for a
single part, it can be run on each of the identical
parts contained in a palette. The QC5200 will
begin measuring parts at the lower-left corner of
the palette, and will proceed from left to right
and from bottom to top.
Parts are measured from left to right and from
bottom to top as shown above
