Short description
MDI mode allows you to execute one machining block at a time. The values to
be entered can be applied directly in the input field from a properly dimensioned
production drawing.
Before you can use the product in the MDI mode, the presets must be set
in the Manual Operation mode.
Further information: "Defining presets", Page 227
The functions provided by MDI mode enable efficient single-part production. For
small-batch production, you can program the machining steps in Programming
mode and then execute them in Program run mode.
