 Job Information Dialog Box

 

The Job Information Dialog box is used to set the header information in the output file and sets the global variables for the job.

 

  • Job Number
  • Job Name
  • Person's Name who made the file
  • EPack Folder
  • Mitsubishi Machine Type
  • Decimal Precision
  • Metric or Imperial
  • Auto Wire Feed ON/OFF
  • Submerged or Non-Submerged
  • Z-Axis control ON/OFF
  • Set Default Approach For All Objects (see below)
  • 4-Axis Output Absolute or Incremental
  • Select EPack by
            -     Material Type
        -     Wire Size
        -     Material Thickness
  • View Current EPack Table (see below)
  • Slot used with CX and SX machines only (see below)
  • Set Defaults for Z1,Z2,Z5
  • Set Start Point at X/Y or First Object
  • Set Default Speed Between Objects or G00
  • Add comments to the Operator in the file header

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Job Information Wire-Approach dialog box assigns the default Approach settings for all objects. Each Objest can be changed in the Object dialog box.

  • The % of Approach sets the distance the Startup Epack is used along the first cut of the part.
  • Ramp ON sets the code to Ramp On/OFF the part for a smooth entree and exit point.
  • Nib Radius is the radius of the arc entering and exiting the part. Defaults is 0.003 inch larger than the wire size.

The Slot function in the dialog box above is used with the CX and SX machines only.
It allows the operator to use different material Epacks without reloading the Epacks in the machine. This only applies to the CX and SX machines.

Example:

If the machine, is loaded with Steel Epacks, needs to run a Carbide job, separate loading of the Carbide Epacks is no longer necessary. With this function, one of ten predefined slots in the user-defined Epack space in the machine will load the Carbide Epacks that you needed for this job. Choose slot 0 for the Epacks will be stored them in Epack location 100 - 109.
Slot #
Epack Locations
0
100 - 109
1
110 - 119
2
120 - 129
3
130 - 139
4
140 - 149
5
150 - 159
6
160 - 169
7
170 - 179
8
180 - 189
9
190 - 199

Note:

When using this method the operator must make sure to reload the file from disk next time he runs the job. The Epacks may have been over written by other jobs. Epacks are not stored with the file on the machine only on the disk.
