Machine & Turret

From the Machine & Turret submenu, you will be able to manage the Machine type (punching, cutting, combination, PDC or ATC), Machine settings, Suction Cups and Turret Setup.

The driver used, work chutes and station data can also be controlled from this point.

Note: The PDC Storage icon is grayed out if a PDC-compatible driver is not loaded. Also, if a driver for the Amada Acies machine is loaded, this icon will read, "ATC Storage."

Note: When changing a machine in the middle of a job after tools have already been assigned and sequenced, the AP100US program can keep the tools and sequencing in place.

This feature only applies to Amada 2014 machines. A combo machine can be changed to a different combo or a punch, and a punch to a combo or another punch (does not apply to cutting machines).
