BatchBuilder
BatchBuilder is a WorkCenter function for creating a complete machining operation – en batch – made up of several individual orders. You choose a number of orders and add magazine positions. The function then generates a main program with associated subprograms. The batch is transferred to the right machine and when the machine is started, the individual machining operations are executed – from the beginning to the end.
Magazine positions
The NC programs that were linked to the respective operation do not include the magazine positions. This information therefore must therefore be added when the batch is created. This can be done manually or the information can be generated automatically.
• Simplified NC-programming.
Loading list
When the batch has been created, you can print out a loading list which describes the magazine positions of the objects.
• Less risk of loading at the wrong magazine position
Transfer of NC programs
When creating the batch, you choose the machine or the cell that you want to perform the machining operation. The complete information is then transferred via the network. The magazines are loaded according to the loading list and the machining operation can start.
