Simulating machining
5.1 Overview
General conditions
● All of the existing data records (Toolcarrier / TRAORI, TRACYL) are evaluated and must
● Transformations with swiveled linear axis (TRAORI 64 - 69) as well as OEM
● Changes to the toolcarrier or transformation data only become effective after Power On.
● Transformation change and swivel data record change are supported. However, a real
kinematic change is not supported, where a swivel head is physically changed out.
● The simulation of mold building programs with extremely short block change times can
Examples
Several examples for machine types that are supported:
Swivel head 90°/90°

be correctly commissioned for correct simulation.
transformations (TRAORI 4096 - 4098) are not supported.
take longer than machining, as the computation time distribution for this application is
dimensioned in favor of the machining and to the detriment of simulation.
