7.4 Simultaneous recording during machining of the workpiece
If the view of the work space is blocked by coolant, for example, while the workpiece is being
machined, you can also track the program execution on the screen.
Software option
You require the option "Simultaneous recording (real-time simulation)" for the
simultaneous recording.
Procedure
1. Load a program in the "AUTO" mode.
2. Press the "Sim. rec." softkey.
3. Press the <CYCLE START> key.
The machining of the workpiece is started and graphically displayed on
the screen.
4. Press the "Sim. rec." softkey again to stop the recording.
Note
● If you switch-on simultaneous recording after the unmachined part information has already
been processed in the program, only traversing paths and tool are displayed.
● If you switch-off simultaneous recording during machining and then switch-on the function
again at a later time, then the traversing paths generated in the intermediate time will not
be displayed.
