Return to block display
Activate the zoom function
Set to Single block mode
Depiction of traverse paths: Line or (cutting) trace
Tool depiction: Point of light or tool
■ ”Motion” appears only for lathes with one slide.
■ If no blank part was programmed, the standard blank
form (control parameter 23) is assumed.
3.5.8 Graphic Display
The ”Automatic graphics” function displays the
programmed blank and finished part and the paths of
traverse. This enables process control of non-visible
areas during production and provides an oversight of
production status, etc.
All machining operations, including milling, are
depicted in the turning window (XZ view).
Activate the graphic – if the graphic
was already active, the screen is
adapted to the current machining
status.

Settings:
Line: Each tool movement is
represented as a line, referenced to the
theoretical tool tip.
Cutting path: depicts the surface
covered by the ”cutting area” of the
tool with hatch marks. You can see the
area that will actually be machined,
with the geometry of the respective
tool already accounted for (see ”
5.1
Simulation Mode of Operation”).
The white dot: (small white rectangle)
represents the theoretical tool point.
Tool: The tool contour is depicted.
(Precondition: Proper tool description in
the tool database.)
Standard: The system displays the
complete path of traverse block by
block
Motion: Depicts the metal removal in
synchronism to the machining
sequence.
Prerequisites:
■ Workpiece blank is programmed
■ Activate the ”motion” function
before starting the NC program.
■ If an NC program is repeated (M99),
the ”Motion” function becomes active
with the next program run.
