Workpiece counter with engraving
NC9050
NC program combining a workpiece counter and the engraving cycle 225. The counting function is realized with a table so that the values will not be lost during shut down. If a workpiece quantity that was defined at program start has been completed, this is displayed on the screen and the control resets the counter after the message is acknowledged. The engraving text consists of two parts: a text that you define as a string parameter and the current numerical value that the control reads from the table. The control combines these data in a string. This string is defined in Cycle 225 as engraving text and is engraved on the workpiece at a position that you enter.
Possible with iTNC 530 as of NC software no.: 340 49x-07 and 606 42x-02
