Creating a ShopTurn program
Graphic program control, ShopTurn programs
The program editor offers graphic programming to generate machining step programs that
you can directly generate at the machine.
You require the "ShopMill/ShopTurn" option to generate ShopTurn machining
step programs.
The following functionality is available:
● Technology-oriented program step selection (cycles) using softkeys
● Input windows for parameter assignment with animated help screens
● Context-sensitive online help for every input window
● Support with contour input (geometry processor)
You can display a ShopTurn program in various views:
● Work plan
● Graphic view
● Parameter screen, either with help screen or graphic view
Note

Please note that not all the conceivable kinematics can be displayed in help screens and
animations of the cyclic support.
