5.5 GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION
When you press the CNC displays the M mode graphic representation page.
To leave the graphic representation mode press or
In the Operation Manual, M -MC models, section «Graphics» in the «Execution / Simulation»
chapter, there is an explanation of how to operate during graphic representation. Nevertheless, there
will now be a brief description of the softkeys.
Type of graphics. Can be «X-Z» or «Solid X-Z»
The «X-Z» graphic is a line graphic which uses colored lines to describe tool tip movement.
The «Solid X-Z» graph starts from an initial block. During execution or simulation the tool
removes material and the form of the resulting part is seen.
Zone to be displayed
Allows modification of the display zone, by defining the maximum and minimum coordinates
of each axis.
To select the maximum and minimum coordinates use
After defining all the data press
After selecting a new display zone the CNC erases the screen showing the axes or the
unmachined part.
The zone displayed cannot be modified during execution or simulation of the piece. In this case
stop execution or simulation by pressing
Zoom
This function allows the graphic representation zone to be increased or reduced in size.
It displays a window superimposed on the graphic represented and another on the figure in the
lower right-hand part of the screen. These windows indicate the new zone of graphic representation
that is being selected.
To move the window use the keys to increase or reduce its size use “+”
“-”, and for the CNC to assume these values press
Each time a new display zone is selected the CNC keeps the present graphic representation. It
does not erase this.
When you press to continue with or restart execution or simulation, the present graphic
representation is erased and the next starts with the new values.
The zoom function cannot be executed during execution or simulation of the part. In this case,
stop execution or simulation by pressing
