● All of the existing data records (toolcarrier / TRAORI, TRANSMIT, TRACYL) are
evaluated and must be correctly commissioned for correct simulation.
● Transformations with swiveled linear axis (TRAORI 64 - 69) as well as OEM
transformations (TRAORI 4096 - 4098) are not supported.
● Changes to the toolcarrier or transformation data only become effective after Power On.
● Transformation change and swivel data record change are supported. However, a real
kinematic change is not supported, where a swivel head is physically changed.
● The simulation of mold making programs with extremely short block change times can
take longer than machining, as the computation time distribution for this application is
dimensioned in favor of the machining and to the detriment of simulation.
An example for supported kinematics is a lathe with B axis:
