Setting for automatic mode

Before machining a workpiece, you can test the program in order to identify programming

errors at an early stage. Use the dry run feedrate for this purpose.

You have the option of additionally limiting the traversing speed so that when running-in a new

program with rapid traverse, no undesirably high traversing speeds occur.

Dry run feedrate

If you selected "DRY run feedrate" under program control, then the value entered in "Dry run

freedrate DRY" replaces the programmed feedrate when executing/machining.

Reduced rapid traverse

If you selected "RG0 reduced rapid traverse" under program control, then rapid traverse is

reduced to the percentage value entered in "reduced rapid traverse RG0".

Displaying measurement results

Using an MMC command, measurement results can be displayed in a part program:

The following settings are possible:

● When it reaches the command, the control automatically jumps to the "Machine" operating

area and the window with the measurement results is displayed

● The window with the measurement results is opened by pressing the "Measurement result"

Recording machining times

To provide support when creating and optimizing a program, you have the option of displaying

the machining times.

You define whether the time is determined while the workpiece is being machined (i.e. if the

function is energized).

Machining times are not determined when machining a workpiece. No machining times are

The machining times are determined for each traversing block of a main program.

Note: You also have the option of displaying the cumulative times for blocks.

Please observe the information provided by the machine manufacturer.

● Block-by-block

Machining times are determined for all blocks.

Utilization of resources

The more machining times are displayed, the more resources are utilized.

More machining times are determined and saved with the non-modal setting than with the

block-by-block setting.
