7.2 Simulation before machining of the workpiece
Before machining the workpiece on the machine, you have the option of performing a quick
run-through in order to graphically display how the program will be executed. This provides a
simple way of checking the result of the programming.
Feedrate override
The rotary switch (override) on the control panel only influences the functions of the "Machine"
operating area.
Press the "Program control" softkey to change the simulation feedrate. You can select the
simulation feedrate in the range of 0 - 120%.
Procedure
1. Select the "Program Manager" operating area.
2. Select the storage location and position the cursor on the program to be
simulated.
3. Press the <INPUT> or <Cursor right> key.
- OR -
Double-click the program.
The selected program is opened in the "Program" operating area.
4. Press the "Simulation" softkey.
The program execution is displayed graphically on the screen. The ma‐
chine axes do not move.
5. Press the "Stop" softkey if you wish to stop the simulation.
- OR -
Press the "Reset" softkey to cancel the simulation.
6. Press the "Start" softkey to restart or continue the simulation.
Note
Operating area switchover
The simulation is exited if you switch into another operating area. If you restart the simulation,
then this starts again at the beginning of the program.
