O
T The graphic simulation feature enables you to subject your NC
programs to a realistic test. The CNC PILOT displays the machining of
up to four workpieces in the working space. The simulation shows
workpiece blanks and finished parts, chucking equipment and tools to
scale. When working with the tilted B axis, the working plane is also
shown tilted. This enables you to see, without distortion, the holes and
milling contours to be machined.
You can program your NC programs and test them—even during
machining operations—directly on the machine.
Regardless of whether you are machining a simple or complex part,
producing a single part or a series of parts, or a whole batch on a
turning center, the CNC PILOT always gives you optimum support.
The C axis
With a C axis you can drill and mill a workpiece on its front, back and
lateral surfaces.
When the C axis is used, one axis interpolates linearly or circularly with
the spindle in the given working plane, while the third axis interpolates
linearly.
The CNC PILOT supports part program creation with the C axis in:
„ DIN PLUS
„ TURN PLUS contour definition
„ TURN PLUS working plan generation
