4. AUTOMATIC OPERATION

CAUTION
1 A skip does not occur during trial multiple–workpiece
machining (when the setting of multiple–workpiece
machining is 1).
2 The multiple–workpiece skip signal can be detected only
during a re–forward movement. The skip signal cannot be
detected during a forward or backward movement.
3 If the multiple–workpiece machining skip signal is input for
a certain block, the machining moves to the end of that block
and stops there. A skip occurs when machining is restarted.
4 If a re–forward movement is stopped by feed hold, and the
multiple–workpiece machining skip signal is input for a
certain block, then machining is restarted, the machine
moves to the end of that block and stops there. A skip
occurs when machining is restarted.
5 When a multiple–workpiece machining skip occurs, a
backward movement for the skipped workpiece becomes
impossible. If a backward movement is attempted for the
next workpiece, the backward movement ends at the
skipped position.
6 When a multiple–workpiece machining skip occurs, the
following information is re–set to the state in which it was
when multiple–workpiece machining was started.
1) Absolute/incremental (G90/G91). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
2) Cutter compensation mode (G40/G41/G42). . . . . . . . .
3) Plane selection (G17/G18/G19). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
4) Programming data input (G10/G11). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
5) Inch/metric input (G20/G21). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
6) Stored stroke limit (G22/G23). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
7) Punch/laser mode
8) Forming mode/cancel
9) Workpiece clamp/unclamp
10)Nibbling mode/cancel
Basically, the modes mentioned above must be canceled
for a multiple–workpiece machining command.
7 The multiple–workpiece machining function cannot be used
together with:
1) Coordinate system rotation
2) Scaling, or
3) Advance T–code specification
