CONFIGURING A FORM
• A form is the screen displayed at the CNC when editing a canned cycle.
• Press the corresponding softkey to access any form, if it is not displayed, use the [+] softkey,
• To access the CYCLE EDITOR, press F2 and select the relevant cycle. Once the form has
been filled out, save it using the [INS] key.
• The forms are basically divided into three blocks: Geometry, Roughing and Finishing.
Geometry. This block indicates the position where the cycle will be executed as well as its
dimensions and the work planes.
Roughing. Machining conditions for roughing (pass, feedrate, rpm, etc.).
Finishing. Machining conditions for finishing (pass, feedrate, rpm, etc.).
• All the values entered must be confirmed with [ENTER].
PROGRAM DISPLAY
There are five options when simulating a program and they may be selected alternately with the
(a) key.
1. Program test without graphic representation, it will only display the data blocks that make up
the program.
2. Solid graphics simulation. It simulates the part as a block that is previously defined by the user.
3. Program test without graphic display, but indicating the various functions, cycles and total
execution time.
4. Simulation and program test. The screen is split in two with the program on the left and the
solid block on the right.
5. Exactly identical to the previous one, but this type of simulation does not allow modifying any
program block.
All the previous simulation options allow selecting the graphic display of the program: 3D lines,
sections, XY, XZ, YZ, combined and solid 3D.
PROGRAM SIMULATION.
The program must be opened prior to being simulated. Once the chosen program appears on
the screen, use the (a) key to select the simulation mode as described in the previous section.
Press the cycle-start button (b) to start the simulation; if an error message comes up, it may be
removed using the reset softkey (c) and the screen will show the program test without graphics.
MACHINING A PROGRAM.
Before executing any program, it should be simulated first to check that that it may be machined
properly.
Use the (d) key to choose the best screen type and then proceed like when simulating; in other
words, press the (b) key to start machining. Use the cycle-stop key (e) to interrupt the execution
of the program at any time.
