System and method using a machining initiation block in a part program machining environment in a machine vision system

摘要

A method is provided for defining and using a machining initiation block for a part program. The part program includes a plurality of steps for taking measurements of a part and is displayed in a processing interface. An option is provided in the editing interface to select which steps are in a processing initiation block. After the part program has been saved, the edit initiation block can be executed at a later time, at which the part program is called for editing, before additional steps are added to the part program. At least some of the data that would have been obtained by one or more of the initial part program steps that are not in the edit initiation block may be based on estimated data related to data (eg, changed based thereon) that is from the Running the Bearbeitungsinitialisierungsblocks be determined.
