Subject: Date Codes
Hello SC
users,
We
do alot of engraving on our parts like part numbers, Port
designation and numbers. This is all built into the program and never
changes.
After the parts are machined they go to the stamping
area to be date
stamped
for which week, year and location that the parts were
machined.
Looks like this: 36/02 P.
Week 36 / Year 02 / Manufactured in
Petersburg
To
reduce handling and speed up the process I would like to add this to
the
engraving cycle on the machine. Managment will o.k. putting a month
date instead
of
a weekly if need
be. I thought about creating 12 date programs and calling each
a
sub program from O8000-O8012, then putting them in using subs.
I
would have to update them only once a year this way.
Has anyone done this before?
Would you
share your wisdom?
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
