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.
(Note1) When the VISUAL ANALYZER screen (waveform display screen) is displayed by pressing the
function selection key
F0
, the GRAPHIC screen will not be displayed even if the
SFG
key is
pressed. Invalidate the visual analyzing function to display the GRAPHIC screen.
(Note2) If the machining program uses a hypothetical axis, the figure may not be drawn correctly with the
program check function.
