9.1 Outline of Functions
The GRAPHIC screen will appear when the function selection key
SFG
is pressed.
Machine tool operations can be monitored, and the machining program path can be illustrated on the
GRAPHIC screen. This is useful for inspecting the program.
(1) Trace function
The trace function illustrates the actual machine movement path and draws the machine motion itself.
The machine operation can be monitored during machining.
(2) Program check function
The program check function illustrates the machining program movement path and draws the operation
results in the NC without carrying out automatic operation.
Thus, it can draw accurate figures at high speed, allowing the machining program to be checked.
(Note 1) The graphic function is an option. The GRAPHIC screen will not be displayed if this specification
is not added.
(Note 2) If the machining program uses a hypothetical axis, such as in milling interpolation, the figure may
not be drawn correctly with the program check function.
