Testing a program
Before machining a part, test the program for things like correct
tool path, count direction, feed rate, and sequence of operations.
The control provides several run-time choices to assist doing this.
Always verify a program when it was loaded, or edited.
From the
PGM
screen, press
Run Options
to display the
following soft keys:
Soft key
Function
PGM
runs through the program one step at a
time. Some steps will run as a single group
such as a Shoulder or Recess
Dry Run
runs through the program at
the defined dry run feedrate instead of
programmed feeds. This option is useful
to more quickly test the tool path motion.
The dry run feedrate is set in the
Job Setup
dialogue.
The
Graphics Only
soft key will run the
program’s tool path without activating the
servo motors or AMI outputs. Begin from
any step in the program. Use the graphics
and
DRO
display to observe and verify the
tool path.
The
PGM
soft key will allow the program
to be stopped at different locations to
allow for verification of particular program
steps selected by the operator. If a G-code
program has an M01 (optional stop) in it,
the system will only stop at this block when
Optional Stop
is enabled. If it is disabled, it
will be skipped.
Press any soft key to activate the option
Press it again to deactivate it
NOTICE
Before pressing the
GO
key to begin the
Single Step
or
Dry Run
features, check that the tool will not touch the workpiece when
the tool begins to move.
To avoid interference, do one or more of the following:
Remove the tool or workpiece
Re-establish datum away from the part
Select
Graphics Only
run option
Single step
Normally, a continuous contour will be machined without stopping.
With
Single Step
activated, the conrol will stop after each step.
This enables a check of the tool position of the Z axis relative to the
part and ensure that the tool path and other program details are
correct. Press the
GO
key to begin, and after each step finishes.
