The “Multiple clamping” function optimizes tool changes over several workpiece
clampings. On the one hand, this reduces downtimes and, on the other, eliminates
tool change times because a tool performs as many machining operations
as possible in all clampings before the next tool change is initiated.
You can either execute the same program several times in the clampings or you
can select different programs.
The “Multiple clamping with different programs” is a software option with Order
No. 6FC5 463-0FA04-0AA0.
The “Multiple clamping” function utilizes cycle CLAMP.SPF which is automatically
loaded when ShopMill is installed.
You can leave the cycle unchanged for flat clamping devices. In the case of
rotating clamping devices, you must adapt the cycle to match the features of the
machine so as to ensure that the next workpiece can be turned to the correct
position while the current workpiece is being machined.
You can find the required cycle in tools\cycles\d in the toolbox.
