Pause 

 

Drawing option for Machining

 

 Select: Function - Pause

 

 

Some machining centres allow for an extra function to pause the machine so that, for example, the operator can make adjustments or change a tool. Use the PAUSE function for this.

 

The machining centre pauses when it receives this instruction. There can be more than one P function codes for a part.

 

Description - add a description (optional) for the function

 

Homag - the tool box dialog can be used to set the 'Release vacuum' instruction. If this is set to 1 then the instruction VL="1" is output to the MPR(X) file when transferring to the machining centre. This allows you to move the part without having to flip it (using the back function).
