AP100US Version 2013.05
5. Shift Before Moving Parts (only for punch machine)
To prevent the PRIII from colliding with the turret when it removes parts, the system will shift the sheet
before PRIII picks up parts. The user specifies the shifting distance and a corresponding trace line will beshown to sign the shift distance after unload.
6. SY2 View
There will be a new item added in TK Unloading or PRIII Unloading sub-menu called “View SY2” to let theuser view SY2 files after unloading parts, which is only available after generating NC code.
7. Sensor Cups
There is information listed in the TK/PRIII information dialog called Sensor Cup to let the user define whichcup(s) is a sensor cup. A new symbol is designed for the sensor cup. At least one sensor cup should be on
the part while picking up a part.

Punch Die Changer (PDC)
1. Support for Combo Machines
Earlier versions of PDC only supported punch machines. Now PDC supports combination machines as well.

Fine Finish Cut (FFC)
1. Second to Last Cut
An indication flag, which passes special NC code output to the driver, for the second to last cut has been
implemented.
Limitations: (1) FFC is only for closed boundaries; open boundaries don’t have FFC. (2) Having a lead-in,
but not a lead-out is recommended. (3) The user should set the OUTPUT AMNCF HEADER to 1 in the CNC
table when generating NC code, otherwise the NC code won’t match the patterns.
