Application
In
Test Run
operating mode, you can graphically check the position
of the workpiece blank and the preset in the working space of the
machine. The graphics show the preset that has been set in the NC
program using Cycle
247
. If you have not defined a preset in the NC
program, then the graphic shows the active preset on the machine.
A transparent cuboid represents the workpiece blank. Its dimensions
are shown in the
BLK FORM
table. The control takes over the
dimensions from the workpiece blank definition of the selected
NC program.
For a test run it normally does not matter where the workpiece
blank is located within the working space. If you activate
BLANK IN WORK SPACE
working space monitoring, you must
graphically shift the workpiece blank in a way that it lies within the
working space. Use the soft keys shown in the table.
