Measurement of machining time

Machining time in the Test Run mode of operation

The control calculates the duration of the tool movements and

displays this as machining time in the test run. The control takes

feed movements and dwell times into account.
The time calculated by the control can only conditionally be used

for calculating the production time because the control does not

account for machine-dependent times, such as tool change.

The machining times shown for milling/turning

operations in the simulation do not correspond to the

actual machining times.

Machining time in the machine operating modes

Time display from program start to program end. The timer stops

whenever machining is interrupted.
