Function
In the Program Run modes of operation as well as in the Test Run
mode, the TNC provides the following display modes. Using soft keys,
select whether you desire:
n Plan view
n Projection in 3 planes
n 3-D view
The TNC graphic depicts the workpiece as if it were being machined
with a cylindrical end mill. If a tool table is active, you can also simulate
the machining operation with a spherical cutter (not TNC 410). For this
purpose, enter R2 = R in the tool table.
The TNC will not show a graphic if
n the current program has no valid blank form definition
n no program is selected
With the TNC 426, TNC 430 you can use machine parameters 7315 to
7317 to have the TNC display a graphic even if no tool axis is defined
or moved.
Overview of display modes
The TNC displays the following soft keys in the Program Run (not TNC
410) and Test Run modes of operation:
A graphic simulation is not possible for program sections
or programs in which rotary axis movements or a tilted
working plane are defined. In this case, the TNC will
display an error message.
The TNC graphic does not show a radius oversize DR that
has been programmed in the T block.
The TNC can display the graphic only if the ratio of the
shortest to the longest side of the blank form is less than
1 : 64.
