Simulating machining
5.1 Overview
Milling
176 Operating Manual, 03/2010, 6FC5398-7CP20-1BA0
General conditions
● All of the existing data records (Toolcarrier / TRAORI, TRACYL) are evaluated and must
be correctly commissioned for correct simulation.
● Transformations with swiveled linear axis (TRAORI 64 - 69) as well as OEM
transformations (TRAORI 4096 - 4098) are not supported.
● Changes to the toolcarrier or transformation data only become effective after Power On.
● Transformation change and swivel data record change are supported. However, a real
kinematic change is not supported, where a swivel head is physically changed out.
● The simulation of mold building programs with extremely short block change times can
take longer than machining, as the computation time distribution for this application is
dimensioned in favor of the machining and to the detriment of simulation.
Examples
Several examples for machine types that are supported:
Swivel head 90°/90°
