· Changes made after first activation (TCARR=x) are not
considered.
· To use several toolholder kinematics for one tool y, create several
identical tools with different toolholder settings.
· Inactive files are grayed out.
6.9.8 Quick display in the simulation for mold making
Target
The function offers quick display of machining paths, e.g. like those
used by CAD systems. Generally these part programs are very large.
Any existing work offsets, Go, G2, G3 are not taken into account, only
those axis paths resulting from G1 are displayed.
Characteristics of quick
display
· Simulation for mold making is a standard function
· Switching between 2D and 3D is supported
· Rotation of workpiece in 3D view
· Representation in the various different planes
· Size scaling, zoom for the displayed workpiece
· Search via row number/string
· Search via machining block which traverses marked positions
· Progress display
· Execution of part program blocks
· Distance measurement
· Can be interrupted by other operating areas/can be aborted
· The programs to be simulated can be run from external drives
· The NC interpreter does not take part in the simulation.
Activation
Operation for mold making simulation is available in the Program
operating area if display MD 9480: MA_SIMULATION_MODE is set to
a value between 0 and 2.
-1 Standard simulation
0 Selection between standard simulation/mold making G1
blocks via operation
1 Mold making only, G1 blocks
2 Automatic mode selection via program size
The limit value for the program size is specified in the display
machine data 9481: MA_STAND_LIMIT.
