5.2 Simulation before machining of the workpiece
Before machining the workpiece on the machine, you have the option of performing a quick
run-through in order to graphically display how the program will be executed. This provides a
simple way of checking the result of the programming.
Feedrate override
Feedrate override is also active during simulation.
You can change the feedrate during the simulation via the user interface.
0 %: The simulation stops.
100 %: The program is executed as quickly as possible.
Procedure
1. Select the "Program Manager" operating area.
2. Select the storage location and position the cursor on the program to
be simulated.
