Before machining a workpiece, you can test the program in order to identify programming
errors at an early stage. Use the dry run feedrate for this purpose.
You have the option of additionally limiting the traversing speed so that when running-in a new
program with rapid traverse, no undesirably high traversing speeds occur.
Dry run feedrate
If you selected "DRY run feedrate" under program control, then the value entered in "Dry run
freedrate DRY" replaces the programmed feedrate when executing/machining.
Reduced rapid traverse
If you selected "RG0 reduced rapid traverse" under program control, then rapid traverse is
reduced to the percentage value entered in "reduced rapid traverse RG0".
Displaying measurement results
Using an MMC command, measurement results can be displayed in a part program:
The following settings are possible:
● When it reaches the command, the control automatically jumps to the "Machine" operating
area and the window with the measurement results is displayed
● The window with the measurement results is opened by pressing the "Measurement result"
softkey.
Recording machining times
To provide support when creating and optimizing a program, you have the option of displaying
the machining times.
