Measurement of machining time

Program Run modes of operation

The timer counts and displays the time from program start to

program end. The timer stops whenever machining is interrupted.

The timer displays the time that the TNC calculates for the duration

of tool movements that are executed at feed rate. Dwell times

are included in the calculation by the TNC. The time calculated

by the TNC can only conditionally be used for calculating the

production time because the TNC does not account for the duration

of machine-dependent interruptions, such as tool change.
