Graphics (option 20)

Application

The control graphically simulates a machining operation in the
following operating modes:
Manual operation
Program run, single block
Program run, full sequence
Test Run
Positioning w/ Manual Data Input
In Positioning w/ Manual Data Input operating mode,
the workpiece blank that is currently active in the
Program Run, Full Sequence/Single Block operating
mode is shown.
The graphic depicts the workpiece as if it were being machined with
tool.
If a tool table is active, the control also takes the entries in columns
L, LCUTS, LU, RN, T-ANGLE, and R2 into consideration.
The control will not show a graphic if
no NC program is selected
a screen layout without graphics was selected
the current NC program has no valid workpiece blank definition
with blank form definition with a subprogram, the BLK FORM
block was not yet run
The simulation of NC programs with 5-axis machining
or tilted machining might run at reduced speed. In the
Graphic settings group of the MOD menu, you can
decrease the Model quality and thus increase the speed
of simulation.
