Programming, Editing, Testing
– Graphic Support in Any Situation
Interactive programming graphics
The two-dimensional programming graphics
give you additional security: while you are
programming, the iTNC 530 draws every
entered traverse command on the screen.
3-D line graphics
The 3-D line graphics display the
programmed tool center point path in three
dimensions. With the powerful zoom
function you can also see the fi nest details.
You should especially use the 3-D line
graphics to inspect programs created
offl ine for irregularities before machining, in
order to avoid undesirable traces of the
machining process on the workpiece, e.g.
when points are output incorrectly by the
postprocessor. In order to fi nd the error
location quickly, the currently active block
of the 3-D line graphics appears highlighted
in the left window. In addition, the
respective programmed end points can be
displayed to show any concentrations of
points.
Help graphics
During cycle programming in the plainlanguage
dialog, the iTNC shows a
separate illustration for each parameter.
This makes it easier to understand the
function and accelerates programming. In
smarT.NC you will fi nd help graphics for all
required input.
