Fixturing tab
The fixturing tab contains the following options: none, temporary, and perma-
nent. These refer to the type of fixture used to position parts on the stage. The
default is permanent.
None
Select none if no fixture is to be used. The user must measure the reference
frame manually for each part. Once the reference frame is measured the QC-
5000 will complete the program automatically.
Temporary
Select temporary for fixtures that are not permanently positioned on the stage.
For example, a temporary fixture may be placed on the stage to measure only
certain types of parts. It is removed to measure other parts.
To use the temporary fixture mode, save the reference frame when creating the
part program. The next time the program is run, the QC-5000 will prompt the
user to measure the reference manually before completing the program in CNC
mode. Once the user measures the reference frame, the remaining parts and
their reference frames are measured automatically.
Permanent
Select permanent for fixtures that are permanently positioned on the stage. Choose
permanent if the system is always used to measure the same parts in the same
fixture. In permanent fixture mode, the QC-5000 automatically measures the
entire part when the user selects new run.
