Working with Anilam 3000, need more basic info.
I am just learning the control and appreciate the help.
I programmed a simple and different rectangular pocket at each end of a long part, all went well.
Then I wanted to copy a the whole block and continue the programming with the same cycle.
I could not figure out how to do that process, it should be easy?
It was not a huge amount of work to just write the canned cycle again but I think it should be possible?
Could not find it in the manual anywhere.
I wanted to just keep repeating the two different shapes so when I changed a part and the tool was at one end I could just start again without doing a full rapid back to the other end if that makes sense, part is 29 inches long and it seemed easier not to rapid all the way back.
Am I overthinking it? Less wear on the machine?
Thanks
Michael
