throughout the sheet. The pattern command must be closed with the END END1;
command, or an alarm will occur. NOTE: You should not have tool MGR/1 R 5 4 U 4 5;

PUNCHING COMMANDS

Command Function Example


REP/ This is the geometric command for automatic REPositioning. The REP X18 Y12 M03;
command will automatically bring the reposition cylinders down, open the REP/DX5;
workholders, pull away from the sheet by 0.080"(2mm), and move in the X__ Y__ T__;
commanded direction by the amount stated, pull back into the sheet by X__ Y__ ;
0.040"(1mm), close the workholders, and raise the reposition cylinders. X__ Y__;
The X axis input on the REP line must be incremental (DX). The program X49.213+5 Y49.213 M03;

RRC/ The Roundable ReCtanglecommand will generate a rectangular opening MOV/X20 Y20 T1(SQR 2.0);
and compensate for a radius in the corners. This command requires a MOV RRC/15 2 1.8 10 2 1.8 .5;
command designating the center point of the rectangle. The command
structure is as follows; The Length of the opening, Tool Length,
maximum allowable Pitch, the Width of the opening, Tool Width,
maximum allowable Pitch,and then the size of the Radius in the corners.
The routine will take one pass around the perimeter of the rectangle, and
will not punch the corners. The corners will need to be processed with
another operation/command. You will have a slug at the end of the routine

P or higher, the C angle is not needed, however you now have the option of MOV/X0 Y35 T1(REC 2.00 X 0.200);
adding a tab input, like the PTP command. The command will be preceded SAA/L 48 0 2 .2 0.1; (Over lap)
by a MOV command, however if there is no MOV command, the punching
will take place at the machine's current location. MOV/X0 Y35 T1(REC 2.00 X 0.200);

and F1 and FF type load / unloaders. The number after the slash represents M30;
the ending X axis sheet size. Do not include the letter X in the command. %

Y Y - Axis absolute motion position designation from the program zero point. Y15.375

DX X – axis incremental motion position designation from the current table DX 4.50
position.

DY Y – axis incremental motion position designation from the current table DY 3.125

direction of travel, you must add a minus (-) sign to the degree of arc
statement. The CIR command will develope the radius for the arc or circle,
from it's current table position, which will be the line prior to the CIR.

PED/ The Plasma EnD command will cancel the PDL and/or the PDR PED/X1 Y5;

number after the letter designation represents Inches Per Minute (ipm), or LAL/X635 Y762 F240; (240 = 2.4 mpm)
Meters Per Minute (mpm), depending on your mode of operation. If you are
programming 150 ipm, your program will have a value of 1500. The contro
is assuming a one place decimal. Do not add a decimal point to your
command. When operating in metric mode, a feed rate of 240, specifies a
table speed of 2.4 mpm.
