With the latest TB-DECO version, the extraction position (variable #3013) is no longer limited to the machine reference position.
 As a reminder, the extraction position of axis Z26 is between 335 mm and 337 mm for the MultiDECO 26/6 and between 299 mm and 301 mm for the MultiDECO 20/6. This extraction restriction can have a negative effect on production time if the counter-operation period is longer. Adjustment of the part ejection device is by way of the counter-spindle in the reference position, by admitting 1 mm play between the actuator and ejection device. This position has been adopted so as to avoid any collision between the ejection device and the part located in the counter-spindle, with the axis reference at Z26. The purpose of the tip proposed here is to:
The essential aim of these two operations is to reduce production time. Tip Assuming that the travel of the ejector actuator and length of part in the counter-spindle (variable #3009) are known, we can calculate the remaining distance, so as to avoid any collision between the ejection device and part, where the axis reference is Z26. The extraction position in the G910 macro has been modified. The new position is between 257 mm and 337 mm for the MultiDECO 26/6 and between 221 mm and 301 mm for the MultiDECO 20/6, knowing that the actuator travel in both cases is 80 mm. The G921 cycle calculates the remaining distance between the part in the counter-spindle and the required extraction position. If the distance is not complied with the user's requested extraction position, an alarm will be triggered. Adjustment Manually position axis Z26 to the required extraction position. Adjust the part recovery device and ejector to the front position! Check the part recovery device operation for possible catcher-slide collision when machining in post 1 (X1; Z11). Input the extraction position value in variable #3013. Comments If, following counter-operation, the extraction position is smaller than the machine position, there is a risk of collision with tool T17. The cycle automatically calculates the positions and informs the operator via a message. In such cases, the operator must program the release of thoo T17 before proceeding with extraction.
