Introduction and fundamentals HEIDENHAIN CNC PILOT 640 35
1.1 The CNC PILOT 1.1 The CNC PILOT The CNC PILOT was conceived for CNC lathes. It is suitable for horizontal and vertical lathes. The CNC PILOT supports lathes with tool turrets. The tool carrier of horizontal lathes can be located in front of or behind the workpiece. The CNC PILOT supports lathes with spindle, one slide (X and Z axis), C axis or positionable spindle, driven tool and machines with a Y axis.
1.2 Configuration 1.2 Configuration In the standard version, the control is equipped with the axes X and Z and a main spindle. Optionally, a C axis, a Y axis, and a driven tool can be configured. Slide position The machine tool builder configures the CNC PILOT.
1.2 Configuration The Y axis With a Y axis you can drill and mill a workpiece on its face and lateral surfaces. During use of the Y axis, two axes interpolate linearly or circularly in the given working plane, while the third axis interpolates linearly. This enables you to machine slots or pockets, for example, with plane floors and perpendicular edges. By defining the spindle angle, you can determine the position of the milling contour on the workpiece.
1.2 Configuration Full-surface machining Functions like angle-synchronous part transfer with rotating spindle, traversing to a stop, controlled parting, and coordinate transformation ensure efficient machining as well as simple programming of fullsurface machining. The CNC PILOT supports full-surface machining for all common machine designs.
1.3 Features 1.3 Features Configuration Basic version: X and Z axis, spindle Positionable spindle and driven tool C axis and driven tool Y axis and driven tool B axis for machining a tilted plane Digital current and speed control Modes of operation Manual operation Manual slide movement through axis-direction keys or electronic handwheels. Graphic support for entering and running Teach-in cycles without saving the machining steps in alternation with manual machine operation.
1.3 Features Graphic simulation Graphic depiction of the sequence of smart.
1.4 Data backup 1.4 Data backup HEIDENHAIN recommends saving new programs and files created on a PC at regular intervals. HEIDENHAIN provides a backup function for this purpose in the data transfer software TNCremoNT. Your machine tool builder can provide you with a copy. You additionally need a data medium on which all machine-specific data, such as the PLC program, machine parameters, etc., are stored. Please contact your machine tool builder.
1.5 Explanation of terms 1.5 Explanation of terms Cursor: In lists, or during data input, a list item, an input field or a character is highlighted. This "highlight" is called a cursor. Entries and operations, like copying, deleting, inserting a new item, etc., refer to the current cursor position. Arrow keys: The cursor is moved with the horizontal and vertical arrow keys and with the PG UP / PG DN keys. Page keys: The PG UP / PG DN keys are also called "Page keys.
1.6 CNC PILOT design 1.6 CNC PILOT design The dialog between machinist and control takes place via: Screen Soft keys Data input keypad Machine operating panel The entered data can be displayed and checked on the screen. With the soft keys directly below the screen, you can select functions, capture position values, confirm entries, and a lot more. With the ERR key you can call error and PLC information.
1.7 Fundamentals 1.7 Fundamentals Position encoders and reference marks The machine axes are equipped with position encoders that register the positions of the slide or tool. When a machine axis moves, the corresponding position encoder generates an electrical signal. The control evaluates this signal and calculates the precise actual position of the machine axis. XMP If there is a power interruption, the calculated position will no longer correspond to the actual position of the machine slide.
1.7 Fundamentals Coordinate system The meanings of the coordinates X, Y, Z, and C are specified in DIN 66 217. The coordinates entered for the principal axes X, Y and Z are referenced to the workpiece zero point. The angles entered for the rotary axis (C axis) are referenced to the datum of the C axis. The axis designations X and Z describe positions in a two-dimensional coordinate system.
1.7 Fundamentals Incremental coordinates Incremental coordinates are always given with respect to the last programmed position. They specify the distance from the last active position to the subsequent position. Each position on a workpiece is clearly defined by its incremental coordinates (see figure). Polar coordinates Positions located on the face or lateral surface can either be entered in Cartesian coordinates or polar coordinates.
1.7 Fundamentals Workpiece zero point To machine a workpiece, it is easier to enter all input data with respect to a zero point located on the workpiece. By programming the zero point used in the workpiece drawing, you can take the dimensions directly from the drawing, without further calculation. This point is the workpiece zero point. It is designated with the letter "W" (see figure). Units of measure You can program the CNC PILOT either in the metric or inch system.
1.8 Tool dimensions 1.8 Tool dimensions The CNC PILOT requires information on the specific tools for a variety of tasks, such as calculating the cutting radius compensation or the proportioning of cuts. Tool length All programmed and displayed position values are given with respect to the distance between the tool tip and workpiece zero point.
1.8 Tool dimensions Tool-tip radius compensation (TRC) The tip of a lathe tool has a certain radius. When machining tapers, chamfers and radii, this results in inaccuracies which the CNC PILOT compensates with its cutting radius compensation function. Programmed paths of traverse are referenced to the theoretical tool tip S. With non-paraxial contours, this will lead to inaccuracies during machining.

3.3 Machine data Cycle statuses The CNC PILOT shows the current cycle status with the cycle symbol (see table at right). Cycle symbols Status "Cycle ON" Cycle or program execution is active. Status "Cycle OFF" Cycle or program execution is not active. Axis feed rate F is the identification letter for feed data. Depending on which mode of the Feed rate soft key is active, data is entered in: Millimeters per spindle revolution (feed per revolution) Millimeters per minute (feed per minute).
3.4 Setting up a tool list 3.4 Setting up a tool list Machine with turret The tools used are listed in the turret list. The ID number of the mounted tool is assigned to every tool holder in the turret. In the Teach-in cycle you program the turret position as T number. The tool ID number is automatically entered under "ID." The turret list can be set up through the TSF menu or directly from the cycle dialogs in the Teach-in mode. T turret pocket number Tool ID (name) is entered automatically.
3.4 Setting up a tool list Tools in different quadrants Example: The principal tool carrier of your lathe is in front of the workpiece (standard quadrant). An additional tool holder is behind the workpiece. When CNC PILOT is configured, it is defined for each tool holder whether the X dimensions and the direction of rotation of circular arcs are mirrored. In the above-mentioned example the additional tool holder is assigned the attribute "mirrored.
3.4 Setting up a tool list Filling the turret list from the database The turret list indicates the current assignment of the tool carrier. The turret list can be set up through the TSF menu or directly from the cycle dialogs in the Teach-in mode. Look at the entries in the tool database in order to move entries from the database into the turret assignment list. The CNC PILOT displays the database entries in the lower area of the screen. The cursor keys are active in this list.
3.4 Setting up a tool list Filling the turret list The turret assignment indicates the current assignment of the tool carrier. When you set up a turret list, you enter the ID numbers of the tools. The turret list can be set up through the TSF menu or directly from the cycle dialogs in the Teach-in mode. The desired turret pocket is selected through the cursor keys. You can also set up manual changing systems in the turret assignment (siehe „Setting up the holder for manual change systems” auf Seite 515).
3.4 Setting up a tool list Tool call T is the identification letter for the tool holder. ID designates the tool ID number. The tool is called by "T" (turret pocket number). The ID number ID is shown and automatically filled in the dialogs. A turret list is kept. In the turret list, multipoint tools are displayed with all cutting edges. In manual operation, you enter the T number in the TSF dialog box. In Teach-in mode, “T” and “ID” are cycle parameters.
3.4 Setting up a tool list Tool life monitoring If desired, you can have the CNC PILOT monitor tool life or the number of parts that are produced with a specific tool. The tool life monitoring function adds the time a tool is used at feed rate. The quantity monitoring counts the number of finished parts. The count is compared with the entry in the tool data. As soon as the tool life expires or the programmed quantity is reached, the CNC PILOT sets the diagnostic bit 1.

3.5 Machine setup 3.5 Machine setup The machine always requires a few preparations, regardless of whether you are machining a workpiece manually or automatically.
3.5 Machine setup Defining the workpiece zero point In the dialog, the distance between the machine zero point and the workpiece zero point (also know as offset) is shown as XN and ZN. If the workpiece zero point is changed, the display values will be changed accordingly. The workpiece zero point can also be set in the Z axis using a touch probe. When setting the zero point, the control checks which type of tool is currently active.
3.5 Machine setup Defining offsets Before using zero point shifts with G53, G54 and G55, you need to define the offset values in setup mode. SET OFFSET Select Setting up Select Set axis values Press the Shift soft key Enter the offset value Press the G53 soft key Press the G54 soft key Press the G55 soft key Press the Save soft key. The CNC PILOT saves the values to a table. In this way, you can activate the offsets in the program by entering the respective G codes.
3.5 Machine setup Homing the axes It is possible to home axes that have already been homed. Here you can select individual axes or all axes simultaneously. REFERENCE RUN Select Setting up Select Set axis values Press the Machine reference soft key Press the Z reference soft key Press the X reference soft key Or press the All soft key Press Cycle start for the control to traverse the reference marks The CNC PILOT refreshes the position display.
3.5 Machine setup Setting the protection zone With active protection zone monitoring, the CNC PILOT checks for every movement whether the protection zone in –Z direction would be violated. If it detects such a violation, it stops the axis movement and generates an error message. The "Setting the protection zone" setup dialog shows the distance between the machine zero point and the protection zone in –ZS.
3.5 Machine setup Defining the tool change position With the cycle Move to tool change position or the DIN command G14, the slide moves to the tool change point. Program the tool change point far enough away from the workpiece so that the turret can rotate without collision and the tools do not damage the workpiece during tool change.
3.
3.5 Machine setup Setting up machine dimensions The "Set up machine dimensions" function allows you to save any positions to use these in NC programs.
3.5 Machine setup Calibrating the tool touch probe The "Calibrate the tool touch probe" function enables you to determine the exact position values of the tool touch probe. MEASURING THE TOUCH PROBE POSITION Insert an exactly measured tool or reference tool Select Setting up Select touch probe Select tool touch probe Pre-position the tool for the first direction of measurement Set the positive or negative traverse direction Press the soft key for this direction (e.g. –Z direction) Press Cycle START.
3.5 Machine setup Displaying operating times In the Service menu, you can view different operating times: Operating time Meaning Control on Operating time of the control since being put into service Machine on Operating time of the machine tool since being put into service Program run Duration of controlled operation since being put into service The machine tool builder can provide further operating time displays. The machine manual provides further information.
3.5 Machine setup Setting the system time With the "Adjust system time" function, you can set the date and time on your control. You will need a mouse to navigate the Adjust system time input form. Use the Month and Year soft keys to increment or decrement the respective settings. To use an NTP server for setting the time, select a server from the server list first.
3.6 Tool measurement 3.6 Tool measurement The CNC PILOT supports tool calibration By touch-off. The setup dimensions are determined by comparing a tool with an already measured tool. By touch probe (stationary of swiveling in the working space; installed by the machine tool builder). By optical gauge (installed by the machine tool builder). Calibration by touch-off is always available. If a touch probe or an optical gauge is installed, select these measuring methods by soft key.
3.6 Tool measurement Touch off You measure the dimensions relative to a calibrated tool by "touching the tool off.
3.6 Tool measurement Touch probe (tool touch probe) FINDING THE TOOL DIMENSIONS BY USING A TOUCH PROBE In the tool table, enter the tool you want to measure Insert the tool and enter the T number in the TSF dialog box Activate Measure tool Activate Touch probe Pre-position the tool for the first direction of measurement Set the positive or negative traverse direction Press the soft key for this direction (e.g. –Z direction) Press Cycle START. The tool moves in the direction of measurement.
3.
3.6 Tool measurement Tool compensation The tool compensation in X and Z as well as the special compensation for recessing tools and button tools compensate for wear of the cutting edge. A compensation value must not exceed +/–10 mm. DEFINING TOOL COMPENSATION Select Set T, S, F (only available in Manual mode) Press the Tool correct.
3.7 Manual mode 3.7 Manual mode With manual workpiece machining, you move the axes with the handwheels or manual direction keys. You can also use Teach-in cycles for machining more complex contours (semi-automatic mode). The paths of traverse and the cycles, however, are not stored. After switch-on and traversing the reference marks, the CNC PILOT is always in Manual mode. This mode remains active until you select Teach-in or Program Run.
3.7 Manual mode Manual direction keys With the manual direction keys, you can move the axes at the programmed feed rate or at rapid traverse. Enter the feed rate in the TSF dialog box.
3.8 Teach-in mode 3.8 Teach-in mode Teach-in mode In the Teach-in mode you machine a workpiece step by step with the help of Teach-in cycles. The CNC PILOT "memorizes" how the workpiece was machined and stores the working steps in a cycle program, which you can call up again at any time. The Teach-in mode can be switched on by soft key and is displayed in the header. Each Teach-in program is given a name and a short description.
3.9 Program Run mode 3.9 Program Run mode Loading a program In Program Run mode, you use Teach-in and DIN programs for parts production. You cannot change the programs in this mode. The graphic simulation feature, however, allows you to check the programs before you run them. The CNC PILOT also offers the Single Block and the Continuous Run mode with which you can machine step by step the first workpiece of a whole batch. The smart.Turn programs are saved as DIN programs (*.nc).
3.9 Program Run mode Comparing a tool list While a program is being loaded, the CNC PILOT compares the current tools in the turret with the tool list of the program. If tools are used in the program that are not in the current turret list or are located in another pocket, an error message is displayed. After the error message is confirmed, the program-dependent tool list is shown for checking.
3.9 Program Run mode Finding a start block The CNC PILOT must be prepared by the machine tool builder for the mid-program startup function (PLC). Mid-program startup means entering into an NC program at a selected point. In smart.Turn programs you can start the program at any NC block. The CNC PILOT starts program run from the cursor position. The starting position is not changed by a previous graphic simulation.
3.9 Program Run mode Program execution The selected Teach-in or DIN program is executed as soon as you press Cycle start. You can interrupt machining at any time by pressing Cycle stop. During program run, the cycle (or DIN block) that is presently being executed is highlighted. With Teach-in programs, the parameters of the cycle currently being run are displayed in the input window. You can influence the program run with the soft keys listed in this table. In the menu Program Run > No.
3.9 Program Run mode Entering compensation values during program run Tool compensation ENTERING TOOL COMPENSATION VALUES Activate the tool compensation Enter the tool number or select a tool from the tool list Enter the compensation values Press the Save soft key for the valid compensation data to be displayed in the input window and saved Entered values are added to the existing compensation values. They are immediately effective in the display and taken into account in the following traverse block.
3.9 Program Run mode Additive compensation The CNC PILOT manages 16 additive compensation values. You edit the compensation values in the Program Run mode and activate them with G149 in a smart.Turn program or in ICP finishing cycles.
3.9 Program Run mode DELETING ADDITIVE COMPENSATION Activate the additive compensation Enter the number of the additive compensation Press the Delete soft key—these compensation values are deleted Press the Delete all soft key—all compensation values are deleted Entered values are added to the existing compensation values and are immediately effective in the display. The control moves in the compensation direction by the compensation value in the following traverse block.
3.9 Program Run mode Program execution in "dry run" mode The dry run mode is used for fast program execution up to a point at which machining is to resume. The prerequisites for a dry run are: The CNC PILOT must be prepared by the machine tool builder for dry run. (The function is activated with a keylock switch or a key.) The Program Run mode must be activated. In dry run, all feed paths (except thread cuts) are traversed at the rapid rate.
3.10 Load monitoring (option) 3.10 Load monitoring (option) The control must be specially prepared by the machine tool builder for the use of the Load Monitoring option. The following steps are required before you can use the load monitoring feature in the Program Run submode: Define the respective machine parameters in the System section (siehe „List of user parameters”, Seite 545) In the smart.
3.10 Load monitoring (option) When face turning with a constant surface speed, remember that the load monitoring feature will monitor the spindle up to a maximum of 15 % of the nominal acceleration defined in the machine parameters. Since acceleration increases as a result of the change in rotational speed, the control only monitors the period after the first cut! The load monitoring function compares current utilization values with maximum limit values.
3.10 Load monitoring (option) Reference machining During reference machining, the control determines the maximum utilization and the total utilization for each monitoring zone. The determined values are used as reference values. To calculate the limit values for a monitoring zone, the control uses the determined reference values and the predefined factors specified in the machine parameters.
3.10 Load monitoring (option) Checking the reference values After the successful completion of reference machining, check the determined reference values. The load monitoring function compares current utilization values with limit values. For proper comparison, the reference values for utilization must not be too low. Check the determined values and, if required, remove monitored axes with a utilization rate of less than 5 % from the monitoring zone.
3.
3.10 Load monitoring (option) Adapting the limit values After successful reference machining, the control uses the reference values and the predefined factors specified in the machine parameters to calculate the limit values. You can adapt the calculated limit values as required for the subsequent production.
3.10 Load monitoring (option) Using load monitoring during production Keep in mind that you cannot adapt the limit values during machining. Adapt the limit values before starting a machining operation. During program run, the control monitors the utilization and the total utilization in each interpolator cycle. In parallel with machining, you can display a graph of the current utilization values for all monitored axes of the active zone.
3.11 Graphic simulation 3.11 Graphic simulation The graphic simulation feature enables you to check the machining sequence, the proportioning of cuts and the finished contour before actual machining. In the Manual Operation and Teach-in modes, this function simulates the execution of a single Teach-in cycle—in Program Run mode it simulates a complete Teach-in program or DIN program. A programmed workpiece blank is displayed in the simulation graphics.
3.12 Program management 3.12 Program management Program selection Program Run automatically loads the most recently used program. In the program selection the programs available in the control are listed. You select the desired program, or use the ENTER key to go to the File name input field. In this input field you limit the selection or enter the program name directly. Open the program list. Use the soft keys for program selection and sorting (see following table).
3.12 Program management Soft keys for sorting functions Sort the programs by change date Reverse the sorting direction Open the program for the automatic start Return to program selection dialog File manager With the functions of the program organization you can copy, delete and otherwise manipulate files. You can select the program type (Teach-in programs, smart.Turn or DIN programs) before calling the program organization.
3.12 Program management Soft keys file manager Open the alphabetic keyboard (see “Alphanumeric keyboard” auf Seite 57) Return to program selection dialog Project management You can make your own project folder in the project management so that you can centrally manage associated files. When you create a project, a new folder is set up with the corresponding subfolder structure in the "TNC:\Project\" directory. You can save your programs, contours and drawings to the subfolders.
3.13 Conversion into DIN format 3.13 Conversion into DIN format The Convert to DIN function enables you to convert a Teach-in program to a smart.Turn program with the same functionality. You can then optimize, expand such a smart.Turn program, etc.

4.4 Turning cycles 4.4 Turning cycles Turning cycles rough and finish simple contours in basic mode and complex contours in expanded mode. With ICP cutting cycles, you can machine contours defined with ICP. See “ICP contours” auf Seite 374. Proportioning of cuts: The CNC PILOT calculates an infeed that is <=infeed depth P. An "abrasive cut" is avoided. Oversizes are considered in "expanded" mode.
4.4 Turning cycles Tool position It is important that you observe the tool positions (starting point X, Z) before executing any of the turning cycles in expanded mode. The rules also apply for all cutting and infeed directions as well as for roughing and finishing (see examples of linear cycles). The starting point must not be located in the shaded area. The area to be machined starts at the starting point X, Z if the tool is positioned before the contour area.

4.7 Drilling cycles Examples of drilling cycles Centric drilling and tapping The machining operation is to be performed in two steps. In the first step, the Drilling, axial cycle drills the hole. In the second, the Tapping, axial cycle taps the thread. The drill is positioned at the safety clearance to the workpiece surface (starting point X, Z). The hole starting point Z1 is therefore not programmed. In the parameters "AB" and "V," you program a feed reduction. The thread pitch is not programmed.
4.7 Drilling cycles Deep-hole drilling A hole is to be bored through the workpiece outside the turning center with the cycle Deep-hole drilling, axial. This machining operation requires a traversable spindle and driven tools. 1st hole depth P and the depth reduction value IB define the individual passes, and the minimum hole depth JB limits the hole reduction value.

5.16 Loading existing contours 5.16 Loading existing contours Integrating cycle contours in smart.Turn ICP contours that you have created for cycle programs can be loaded in smart.Turn. ICP converts the contours into G commands and integrates them in the smart.Turn program. The contour is now part of the smart.Turn program. The ICP editor considers the type of contour. For example, you can load a contour defined for the face only if you have selected the face (C axis) in smart.Turn. Extension Group *.
5.16 Loading existing contours DXF contours (option) Contours that exist in DXF format are imported with the ICP editor. You can use DXF contours both for cycle operation and for smart.Turn. Requirements of a DXF contour: Only two-dimensional elements The contour must be in a separate layer (without dimension lines, without wraparound edges, etc.). Depending on the setup of the lathe, contours for turning operations must be either in front of or behind the workpiece.
5.16 Loading existing contours Activate the ICP editor. Press the Contour list soft key. The ICP editor opens the window "Selection of ICP contours." Press the Next file typesoft key until the DXF contours are displayed (see file extension "*.DXF"). Select the file. Open the selected file. Select the DXF layer. Load the selected contour.

Graphic simulation
6.1 Simulation mode of operation 6.1 Simulation mode of operation Press this soft key to start a graphic simulation from the following operating modes: smart.Turn Program Run Teach-in Manual Operation (cycles) When called from the smart.Turn mode, the graphic simulation opens the large simulation window and loads the selected program. When you call the simulation from the Machine modes of operation, either the small simulation window or the last window you used is opened.
The simulation is controlled by soft keys in all operating states. In addition, you can always use the menu keys (numeric keys) to control the simulation, even in the small simulation window, when the menu bar is not visible. Starting and stopping with soft keys Starts the simulation from the beginning. The soft key switches to the stop symbol; you can now use the soft key to stop and resume the simulation, depending on the simulation status. Resumes a stopped simulation (Single Block mode).
6.1 Simulation mode of operation In the Machine modes of operation, an activation of the Single Block soft key is also effective in automatic mode. In the Machine modes of operation, you can start automatic program run directly from the simulation by pressing Cycle on. The miscellaneous functions You use the miscellaneous functions to select the simulation window, to determine how the tool path is depicted, or to call the time calculation.
6.2 Simulation window 6.2 Simulation window Setting up the views With the simulation windows described in the following you check not only the turning work but also the drilling and milling operations. XZ view (turning view): The turning contour is depicted in the XZ coordinate system. The configured coordinate system is taken into account (tool carrier in front of/behind the turning center, vertical lathes).
6.2 Simulation window Single-window view Single-window view Only one view is shown in the small simulation window. You switch the view with the Main view soft key. You can also use this soft key when only one view is set in the large simulation window. With cycle programs, you can activate the face or lateral surface view only when the C axis is used in the program.
6.3 Views 6.3 Views 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 trace, 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.
6.3 Views Tool depiction You adjust by soft key whether the tool cutting edge or the light dot is shown (see table at right). The tool cutting edge is shown with the correct angles and cutting radius, as defined in the tool database. Light dot view: A white square (light dot) is shown at the currently programmed position. The light dot represents the position of the imaginary cutting edge. Soft keys for miscellaneous functions Switches between wire-frame graphics and cutting-path graphics.
6.3 Views 3-D view The 3-D view menu item switches to a perspective view and shows the programmed finished part. With the 3-D view, you can display the blank and the finished part with all turning operations, milling contours, drilling and boring operations as well as threads in a solid-model view. Tilted Y planes and machining operations referenced to them, such as pockets or patterns, are also displayed correctly by the CNC PILOT.
6.3 Views Rotating the 3-D view with the menu functions With the menu functions you rotate the graphic around the displayed axes (see table at right). The "perspective view" soft key resets the graphic to its initial condition. Rotating and moving the 3-D view with the mouse With the right mouse button pressed you can move the displayed workpiece as required.
6.4 The zoom function 6.4 The zoom function Adjusting the visible section Press this soft key to activate the zoom function. With the zoom menu, you can modify the section displayed in the simulation window. As an alternative to the soft keys, you can use the arrow keys and the PgDn and PgUp keys to change the visible section. For cycle programs, and when a program is simulated for the first time, CNC PILOT automatically selects the displayed section. When you simulate the same smart.
6.4 The zoom function Modifying the section with the zoom menu When you activate the zoom menu, a red frame is shown in the simulation window. This red frame indicates the zoom area, which you can select using the Take over soft key or the Enter key. Use the following keys to change the frame size and position: Keys for modifying the red frame The arrow keys move the red frame in the indicated direction. Reduces the size of the red frame. Increases the size of the red frame.
6.5 Simulation with mid-program startup 6.5 Simulation with mid-program startup Startup block with smart.Turn programs smart.Turn programs are always simulated from the first block, regardless of which block the cursor is in. If you use the mid-program startup, the simulation suppresses the display up to the startup block. If there is a workpiece blank, the simulation scans the blocks up to this position, updates the blank and redraws it.
6.5 Simulation with mid-program startup Mid-program startup in cycle programs For cycle programs, you first place the cursor on a cycle and then call the simulation. The simulation begins with this cycle. All previous cycles are ignored. The Start block menu item is deactivated for cycle programs.
6.6 Time calculation 6.6 Time calculation Showing the machining times During simulation, the machining and idle-machine times are calculated. The machining times, idle times and total times are shown in the "Time calculation" table (green: machining times; yellow: idle times). If you are working with cycle programs, each cycle is shown in a separate line. In DIN programs, each line represents the use of a new tool (for each tool call with T).
6.7 Saving the contour 6.7 Saving the contour Saving the generated contour in the simulation You can save a contour generated in the simulation and read it into smart.Turn. In smart.Turn, you insert into the program the workpiece blank and finished part contour that you generated during simulation. Select the "Insert contour" function on the "ICP" menu. Example: You describe the blank form and finished part and simulate machining of the first setup.

9.4 Compatibility in DIN programs 9.4 Compatibility in DIN programs The format of DIN programs of the CNC PILOT 4290 predecessor control differs from the format of the CNC PILOT 640. However, you can use the program converter to adapt programs of the predecessor control to the new control. When opening an NC program, the CNC PILOT 640 recognizes the programs of the predecessor control. The program concerned will be converted after a confirmation prompt. "CONV_..." will be prefixed to the program name.
9.4 Compatibility in DIN programs Warnings may occur for the thread functions G31, G32, G33; it is recommended to test these functions. The "Contour mirroring/shifting G121" function is converted to G99, but the principle of function is compatible. A warning will be issued for G48 because the principle of function has changed. A warning will be issued for G916, G917 and G930 because the principle of function has changed. Functions must be supported by the PLC.
