(Software Option) to create a surface profile
Function to create a surface profile of a blank. The measured data can be used to compensate for unevenness in the surface.
Functions in the user interface:
- Manual measuring cycles
- Camera measurement cycles
- Special measuring parameters
- Number of points in X and Y at which the Z-height is scanned
- Extrapolation ranges (edge areas)
- Status icons:
- Set up in workpiece
- In the Status Monitor (Run Screen)
Attention: The surface profile function is not available in combination with the rotary axis.
New function (software option) for setting up protected areas
With this function you can define areas in the workspace of the machine that are not approached by the tool. This prevents, for example, inadvertent milling into an assembled vacuum plate due to programming errors.
Functions in the user interface:
- Manual measuring cycles
- Camera measurement cycles
- Status icons in:
- Workpiece setup
- Status icons
- Management Dialog
New selection for tool change
If desired by the user, tool length measurement can be switched off for all unmeasured tools. The corresponding selection can be found under Settings > User Settings > Tool length measurement.
Function for switching vacuum connections on/off (optional on machines of the M8Cube / MLCube series)
In order to achieve optimum adhesion of the workpiece to the vacuum plate, only the connections located under the workpiece can be activated using this function. The function is located under “Manual Operation > Technology > Vacuum”.
Thread cutting function (optional - only for 8 kW spindle)
This function is accessible under: “manual operation > process cycles > drilling > drilling thread”.
Switching between the submenus is now possible directly via the navigation bar
The available submenus in the navigation bar can be adapted to your personal needs. On the start screen, individual functions can be added to the navigation bar using drag and drop. To do this, hold the one tile for 3 seconds and then slide it into the navigation bar area.
Automatic pauses can be inserted in the program sequence
This function allows the program to pause at the defined positions (at block start, tool change). A pause dialog appears, which must be confirmed in order to continue executing the program. This function is useful, for example, when a program is set up to carry out intermediate checks.
Function to search for a program name in the program management
This function makes it possible to filter the list of programs (in open folders) live by entering search terms, thus speeding up access to programs.
Function for opening and closing the tool magazine
With this function the flap of the tool changer can be opened and closed easily.
Extension of the SimPL Editor by input mask based editing
This enables the operator to create and edit program commands via a graphical input mask. This makes it much easier to create milling programs.
