Material Option Panels

Material files are used to define default material values that are used by your machine driver. Each material file for a machine is unique. You must create a material file for each machine. For most cutting and combination machines, you must also create a material file for each material type used.

In some legacy punch presses, the settings in the material file pertain only to the estimated runtime in your setup sheet. A driver manual that explains each item in the material file usually accompanies the driver. The values for these items are generally found in the programming manual for your machine.

For more information on the use of the various panels listed here, consult your driver documentation.
