Traverse path display
Rapid traverse paths are shown as a broken white line.
Feed paths are displayed either as a line or as a cutting path,
depending on the soft-key setting:
Line display: A solid line describes the path of the theoretical
tool tip (wire-frame graphics). The wire frame display is
particularly convenient if you only need a quick overview of
the proportioning of cuts. The path of the theoretical tool tip,
however, is not identical with the contour of the workpiece.
This view is therefore not as suitable if you wish to run a
thorough check of the machined contour. This falsification is
compensated by the cutting radius compensation
Cutting path display: The Simulation submode uses hatch
marking to depict the surface covered by the cutting area of
the tool. You can see the area that will actually be machined,
with the exact geometry of the cutting edge (cutting radius,
cutting width, tool-tip position, etc.) already accounted for.
You can check in Simulation submode whether the contour is
machined completely or needs to be reworked, whether the
contour is damaged by the tool or overlaps are too large. The
cutting-path graphics are especially interesting for recessing or
drilling operations and for machining inclined surfaces where
the tool shape has an essential influence on the accuracy of the
resulting workpiece.
Activating the cutting path graphics:
When the soft key is activated, the
cutting paths of traverse are shown
The pathDelay (114802) user parameter can be used to
control the simulation speed.
