126 Machine mode of operation

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. The CNC PILOT also simulates machining operations that

are executed with a traversable spindle or the C axis on the face or

lateral surface. This allows you to check the complete machining

process.

In Manual mode and Teach-in mode, the Teach-in cycle you are

currently working on is simulated. In the Program Run mode the

simulation begins starting with the cursor position. smart.Turn and

DIN programs are simulated from program start.

For more details on the use and operation of the simulation, refer to

the chapter “Simulation mode of operation” auf Seite 484.
