Time Calculation
During machining or motion simulation, the CNC PILOT calculates the
productive and non-productive times. The display appears in the “time
calculation” table The table shows the simulation of the machining
times, idle times and total times (green: machining times; yellow: idle
times). Each line represents the use of a new tool (for each tool call
with T).
If there are more table entries than fit on a screen page, you can call
further time data with the arrow keys and PgUp/PgDn.
You can call the time calculation at any time that the simulation is
stopped:
U
Select “Set up > Times”
Exit the time calculation:
U
ESC key
Soft keys
Switch to the next slide
Output the time calculation
(see “General control parameters”
on page 577).
In control parameters 20 and 21 you can define which
control parameters will be used for calculating the idle
times.
