1.1 DYNAMIC GRAPHIC DISPLAY
Overview
The dynamic graphic display function has two features:
・ Path Drawing
The path of coordinates specified in a program is drawn on the screen.
By displaying a travel path on the screen, the path can be checked easily before
performing machining actually.
・ Animation
The figure of a workpiece to be machined by a programmed tool movement is drawn.
By drawing the three-dimensional figure of a workpiece to be machined in an
animation-like way, the intermediate machining process and final figure can be grasped
easily.
NOTE
The animation function schedules completion at the end of March in 2006.
When machining is performed according to a program, this function can draw a tool path with
another program.
This function performs drawing much faster than the graphic display function based on
automatic operation, so that a program check can be made more swiftly.
This function is distinguished from automatic program operation as indicated by the
following terminology:
Automatic operation Operation performed for actual machining
Background operation Virtual operation performed for drawing
