Process

After a call pattern is defined, the related cycles can be called to execute it at the predefined positions. A call pattern retraction plane PATTERN_RETRACT must also be defined. This is where the tool retracts to every time before it is repositioned.

When the call pattern ID is transferred at cycle call, the cycle "SysPosPatternWrapper.ecy” stored in the cycle packet is called internally. The position in X and Y is then approached on the call pattern retraction plane for each position and rotation definition (#AT) contained in this cycle. The rotations and the transferred Z position are then activated as a machining coordinate system before the required cycle is executed.
