Synchronous point analysis
The synchronous point analysis shows the chronological history of
machining and the interdependency of the slides. This helps you to
organize and optimize a multi-channel program. Information in the
synchronous point analysis:
„ Machining times/idle times
„ Waiting times
„ Tool change
„ Synchronous points
Synchronous point information:
„ The NC block relevant for the selected synchronous point
„ tw: Waiting time at this synchronous point
„ tg: Calculated execution time as of program start
Evaluating the synchronous point analysis: Place the cursor (arrow
beneath the bar diagram) on the event to be analyzed in order to obtain
the following synchronous point information:
„ NC program/subprogram
„ Type of event (tool change or synchronous point)
„ Slide involved
„ Active tool
„ NC block number
„ tw: Waiting time at this synchronous point
„ tg: Calculated execution time as of program start
