9.4 Simulating a machining operation

Simulating a machining operation

For classic lathes with main and counterspindle, up to 2 channels can be simultaneously

You have the option of executing the programs together before the actual machining. In this

case, start, stop and reset - as well as the functions to control the program, act

simultaneously on all of the simulated channels.

Correction of the work offsets for multi-channel data

If you use multi-channel data in the simulation, then the work offsets are corrected so that

they match the blank and the spindle chuck data.

Preconditions

● The function of the individual spindles and special axes, must be specified in the channel-

● The zero point of the counter spindle must be the same as that of the main spindle.

Only the tool paths of the presently selected channel are displayed.

Software options

You require the "programSYNC" option to simultaneously simulate several

Without this option, all of the channels are considered to be an autonomous

system and are individually simulated.

specific display machine data set-up for the purpose.

Machine manufacturer

Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.

Start the simulation.

Press the "Main spindle" softkey if you wish to view the main spindle.
