BalanceCutOperationCopy

This method is used to copy the operation, where balance cut UDE (user defined event) is activated.

And later, this second operation, which is copied, is added just below the first operation in the APT/CL file.

By doing this, you don’t need to create the second operation for the balance cut inside CAM, it is automatically created by MANUSpost developer.

To use the second operation for the balance cut, you must also activate the lower turret before the second operation.

By doing this, the second operation, which is the copy of the first one, can be used for the balance cut operation, since both first and second operations will have same motion lines. The only difference will be that: the first operation will be performed on the main turret, or B axis head, and the second operation is performed on the lower turret. And by writting the same synchronization codes at the beginning of these operations, you can guarantee that these operations can be performed like a balance cut.

You can understand whether an operation is created as the clone of another operation from the variable “VAR.Operation.IsOperationClone”. If the operation was created using the “BalanceCutOperationCopy” method, this variable will be “True” in this transaction.
