8.2 Program control
8.2 Program control
Single block
Single block mode can be activated for startup of the program. For this purpose a program
stop occurs after each traversing block.
Work plan programs maintain the alternative of stopping processing after each plane infeed.
Program test
Programs can be checked before processing in a program test mode. The program is
executed to completion with stationary axes. This is especially meaningful in connection with
the simultaneous recording option (real-time simulation).
Reduced rapid traverse

You have the facility of additionally limiting the traversing speed for rapid traverse so that
when running-in a new program with rapid traverse, no undesirable high traversing speeds
occur. In the rapid traverse mode, the traversing speed of the axes is reduced to the
percentage value (0-100%) entered in RG0.
Program editing
In machine condition STOP, the program can be edited directly at the location of the fault,
e.g. erroneous DIN/ISO blocks or wrongly parameterized sequences. After correcting the
program you can continue machining.
Repositioning to the contour (REPOS)

In machine condition STOP, the machining axes may be moved to and away from the
workpiece surface with the handwheel or the direction keys.
Highlights
● Secure positioning of new part programs
● Continue machining quickly after interruptions

The engraving cycle is used to engrave a text on a workpiece along a line or arc. You can
enter the text as fixed text or assign it via a variable as variable text.
Examples of variable texts:
● Date and time
The values for the date and time are read from the CNC.
● Quantity
The "Quantity" variable is available as a pre-defined user variable
● Numbers
When outputting numbers (e.g. measurement results), you can select the output format
(digits before and after the point) of the number to be engraved.
● Text
Instead of entering a fixed text in the engraving text field, you can specify the text to be
engraved via a text variable (e.g., _VAR_TEXT="ABC123").
Highlights
● Reduction of set-up times by complete machining on one machine
● Simple program input of engraving

● High quality of workpieces by workpiece transfer in synchronous spindle mode

12.2 Residual material detection
12.2.1 Residual material detection during turning
☑ Option: Residual material detection
Contour areas which do not permit machining by tools with large plate angles are
automatically recognized in the stock removal cycle. The operator can rework these areas
using a suitable tool with a smaller plate angle.
Highlight
● Time saving through avoiding idle cuts during residual stock removal

12.2.2 Detection of residual material when milling
☑ Option: Residual material detection

Contour ranges which do not permit milling with large diameters are automatically identified
in the cycle for contour pockets and contour pins. These areas can be selectively machined
with a suitable smaller tool, rather than having to use this tool for the entire contour pocket or
pin.
If you mill several pockets and wish to avoid unnecessary tool changeovers, remove stock
from all the pockets first and then remove the residual material. In this case, you must enter
the tool used for removing the residual material from the pocket in the "TR reference tool"
parameter.
Highlight
● Shorter machining times through the use of a large tool for the substantial part of the
stock removal and a smaller tool for the remaining residual material
● Avoidance of non-cutting movements while achieving extremely simple programming

12.3 In-process measuring for workpieces and tools
