Machining the workpiece

Settings for the automatic mode
Before machining a workpiece, you can test the program in order to identify programming
errors early on. Use the dry run feedrate for this purpose.
In addition, you have the option of additionally limiting the traversing speed for rapid traverse
so that when running-in a new program with rapid traverse, no undesirable high traversing
speeds occur.
Dry run feedrate
The feedrate defined here replaces the programmed feedrate during execution if you have
selected "DRY run feedrate" under program control.
Reduced rapid traverse
This value entered here reduces the rapid traverse to the entered percentage value if you
selected "RG0 reduced rapid traverse" under program control.
Displaying measurement results
Using an MMC command, you can display measurement results in a part program:
You can define the following settings:
● When it reaches the command, the control automatically jumps to the "Machine"
operating area and the window with the measurement results is displayed
● The window with the measurement results is opened by pressing the "Measurement
result" softkey.
Recording machining times
To provide support when creating and optimizing a program, you have the option of
displaying the machining times.
You define whether the time is determined while the workpiece is being machined (i.e. if the
function is energized).
● Off
When the machining a workpiece the time determination function is deactivated, i.e. the
machining times are not determined.
● Non-modal
The machining times are determined for each traversing block of a main program.
● Block by block
Machining times are determined for all blocks.
Note
Utilization of resources
The more machining times are displayed, the more resources are utilized.
More machining times are determined and saved with the non-modal setting as with the
block-by-block setting.
