Simulation and simultaneous recording
9.1 Overview
Restrictions
● Very fast simulation result, this means, however, low dynamic resolution.
● For complex representations, fine recording is too slow or does not run for very complex
parts.
● The simulation cannot be used for compile cycles with special kinematics.
● Blank CAD data cannot be imported (for example, for castings).
● Couplings cannot be simulated (coupled motion, axial master-value coupling, electronic
gearbox):
– Coupled motion: TRAILON(<following axis>, <leading axis>, <coupling factor>)
– Axial master-value coupling: LEADON(Faxis, LAxis, curve table n) actual-value and
– Electronic gearbox: EGDEF(FA, LA1, coupl.1, LA2, coupl.2, ... LA5, coupl.5), EGON,
● Synchronization with axis replacement (GET, GETD) cannot be simulated. This means a
time estimate is also not possible!
● If parallel processing is performed in channel 1 and channel 2 (revolutional feed with
spindle from 2nd channel), the program execution in the simulation does not match that
of the automatic program (simultaneous recording).
● The representation of the workpiece is incorrect for swiveled planes (CYCLE800).
Simultaneous recording
During machining, the tool paths can be simultaneously recorded on the display of the
controller in a three-side view or 3D view. Workpiece graphics and views correspond to the
graphic simulation.
Note
To prevent an incomplete representation, you must activate the simultaneous recording prior
to the NC start.
