<strong>Punch</strong> count- the maximum amount of tools of that type that can be used within<br />
one nest. Works in conjunction with dies set for that tool as well. <strong>Punch</strong><br />
count can exceed the amount of dies entered but cannot be processed via<br />
optimizer if so.<br />
Tool can be ‘Auto index’- set the tool to be used as an auto indexable tool. If turret is<br />
loaded automatically then the having this checked will only be put into an auto index<br />
station.<br />

range is 0 – 254, 254 being the maximum opening (200 for Fanuc).<br />
Typically used for tall forming dies/tools. [1 unit = 0.1mm (0.004”)]<br />
RAM speed- decreases striking force. Used only in <strong>machine</strong>s older than 11<br />
series. All <strong>machine</strong>s 11 series and up will use the PUNCH_SPEED<br />
control mechanism.<br />
Acceleration- changes acceleration value for X and Y-axis.<br />
<strong>Punch</strong> depth- How deep the punch will go. Outputs the P value within the code<br />
overriding lower limit set in the tool table at the <strong>machine</strong>.<br />
