Synchronization

The expression that needs to be written inside Fusion 360, using “Manual NC” operation is:

SYNCH_NO=@

After adding this statement in Fusion360, this expression will be added to the generated APT file as follows:

GOTO/46.009998, 35.18, 15.
OPERATION/END
PPRINT/’SYNCHNO=1’
START/’OPERATION’
MODE/ MILL

The Type of UDE:

It is a standard type UDE. In standard usage, there is no need for an extra definition within MANUSpost Developer to activate this UDE. However, if desired, a UDE definition can be made for this UDE in the CAM settings section within MANUSpost Developer (can also be defined as Custom UDE). In this case, the user can make additional customizations on this UDE, create events, scripts and commands that are linked to this UDE, and use them.

What is it used for?

It is used to ensure that each channel (turret) works in the desired order or works together in multi-turret (multi-channel) mill turn machines, and swiss type lathes.

How to deactivate it?

It is effective on the line where it is printed. Therefore, there is no need to deactivate it. When this UDE is activated, a “Synchronization Number” is added in the APT file before the operation where it is activated.

What Does it Affect/Change Inside MANUSpost Developer?

This UDE defines the value of the “VAR.Turret.SynchronizationNumber” variable in MANUSpost Developer and the synchronization number generated from this variable is used in the desired “Command” to print the synchronization number to the NC program at the desired position.
