Simulation

For classic lathes with main and counterspindle, up to two channels can be simultaneously
simulated.
You have the option of executing the programs together before the actual machining. In this
case, start, stop and reset - as well as the functions to control the program, act
simultaneously on all of the simulated channels.
Correction of the zero offsets for multi-channel data
If you use multi-channel data in the simulation, then the zero offsets are corrected so that
they match the blank and the spindle chuck data.
Requirements
● The function of the individual spindles and special axes, must be specified in the channel-
● The zero point of the counter-spindle must be the same as that of the main spindle.
Tool paths
Only the tool paths of the presently selected channel are displayed.
Procedure
564
Software options
You require the "programSYNC" option to simultaneously simulate several
channels.
Without this option, all of the channels are considered to be an autonomous
system and are individually simulated.
specific display machine data set-up for the purpose.
Machine manufacturer
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
1. Start the simulation.
2. Press the "Main spindle" softkey if you wish to view the main spindle.
