Rationalising by CPL/Index
Sort by Index is ordering by resultant rotary axis positions. If two or more CPLs
result in the same rotary axis positions then the instructions associated with
them will be combined, e.g. the front face of a component on a cube might be
machined at the same time as side faces of components mounted on adjacent
sides. Datum changes will be retained by insertion of a datum shift command.
Sort by CPL works on CPL name only. Identical (rotary angle and datum
position) CPLs will be combined but CPLs having the same rotation but a
different datum will not.
When sorting by Index or CPL additional toolchanges with safe moves to the
toolchange position will be inserted as required. The data for these
toolchanges will be copied from that associated with the instructions in the
original sequence (including both turret position and Tlo number).
For the purpose of this operation, a toolchange is taken to mean the relevant
toolchange instruction together with its move to toolchange position and any
M-Functions that precede the toolchange (back to the preceding cycle
command or feed move).
For repeats of the first toolchange, the preceding M-Functions and move to
toolchange position will be taken from the next toolchange instruction. Where
groups of instructions are brought together by the rationalisation process a
move to safe Z will always be inserted. This will prevent the creation of 3D
rapid moves that could scrap the part or be a safety hazard. If required, you
can remove such moves afterwards.
Sort by Index or CPL will take account of both primary and secondary rotation
axes where both exist.
