Sequence editor
The graphical programming is performed via a graphic interactive sequence editor. Each
program line represents a technological sequence (such as: face milling, centering, drilling,
tapping) or geometric data required for the sequences (position patterns or contours). Graph-
ical programming offers, in comparison to DIN/ISO programming, a compact and compre-
hensible program overview.
Entering individual sequences requires no
knowledge of DIN/ISO. All required technolog-
ical and geometric parameters are entered in
screen forms. Simple, intuitive programming
with sequences can always be expanded very
flexibly by inputting DIN/ISO blocks and con-
trol functions.
Benefits
Intuitive program input, without knowledge of DIN/ISO and the Operating Manual
Compact, clearly arranged machining programs
Reducing the programming time by graphical input masks and copying/pasting machining
steps
