7. CHECKING MACHINING PROGRAMS
OPERATION
81
The above soft keys are valid only during machining simulation.
Animated drawings showing the actual machining status can also be
displayed during machining (drawing during machining). To do this,
press the GRAPH key to display the screen illustrated above, then start
the machining.
When display of this machining simulation screen was selected from the
main menu screen of the conversational function, press the [
] key to
return to the main menu screen.
NOTE
1 If the [RT.CH] key is pressed, the [PROG ON/OFF]/[PLOT]
[SPEED DOWN]/[SPEED UP] soft keys are not displayed.
2 The drawing speed can be increased only during machining
simulation. In drawing during machining, the conventional
method is applied.
If the actual tool travels at high speed while drawing during
machining is being executed, the drawing may not be
performed at the same speed, resulting in the drawing being
incorrect.
3 The screen cannot be switched during machining
simulation. If an attempt is made to switch the screen,
machining simulation is stopped and cannot be resumed.
4 To use the soft keys described above, set both bit 4 (CSF)
and bit 6 (NZM) of parameter 6500 to 1.
Set bit 3 (DPA) of parameter 6500 to 0.
To use the machining simulation drawing function, set bit 0
(HSA) of parameter 6502 to 1.
While an NC program is being converted, the NC program is displayed
as shown below.
