4 Machine controlThe machine control window is used for controlling the machine.There are defined different move options, jog button, feed overridesettings. The machine control is divided into two windows whichare positioned on the left and right side of the screen.
4.1 Machine control - left sideHere all jog options are defined (Fig. 7). One joystick for movingthe X and Y axis into + or – direction. Also an extra panel to movethe Z-axis up and down. In case of more than one Z-axis or otheradditional axes you can switch between all extra axes by pressingthe letter of the axis.
With this you can switch through all additional axes and jog them in+/- with the up/down arrows.
The increment panel with the button “Incr. step” is to activate theincremental move mode of the CNC. Then you can define a stepsize, which is used when you press any jog +/- button. With acti-vated incremental jog the axes will always move the defined stepsize.

Lubrication Program Activates one lubrication cycle to lubricatethe axes.
Feed override
For the feed override you have plus andminus buttons to change immediately insteps of 1, 5 or 10%. Additionally thereare three buttons to change the feedoverride with one click to 25, 75 or 100%.You also have one button to change withone click to 0% and if you press again togo back to the previous value (you cansee instead of 0 the previous value onthis button). In the middle of the feedoverride you can find the set and actualspeed of the movement.

5 Job controlThe job control window has two different views. The view and func-tionality is dependent on the actual CNC status. If the program isactive you can see functions which are made to affect the machineduring the cutting process. If no program is active all functions aredisplayed which are used for setting up parameters before the startof a program.

Pierce test (Fig. 11)
With the Pierce test functionyou can additionally change thepiercing time of the NC pro-gram.
If this button is pressed, themachine will do the firstpiercing in the program as longas the user doesn’t press thestart button again. If the userfinishes the first piercing, thepiercing time of the first hole isused for all other piercings inthis program.
Use set time / Set time
Instead of a pierce test, theuser can also define a piercingtime with the button “Set time”.If he presses the “Use SetTime” button, this time will beused for the currently runningprogram.

Function Description
Cut speed (Fig. 12)
Normally the cut speed is fixedand defined in the program, butwith this module you canchange the cut speed of anexisting program.
With “Set cut speed” thespeed is defined and with“Activate cut speed” the setspeed is used, as long as thebutton is not deactivated again

If you activate this mode thedistance control will be deacti-vated automatically.
By deactivating the test-runmode the distance control typeis set to the old value beforethe test-run mode.
In some cases it is necessaryto use the distance control intest-run mode, and then youcan just activate the distancecontrol again in the distancecontrol settings.
To use a different speed in test-run mode you can define a test-run speed with “Set test-runspeed”.

With “Height options” you candefine which type is used to setthe cutting height.
Generally it is possible tospecify the "C2C" (contour tocontour) height independentfrom the chosen option.Thereby the height will bedetermined, on which the Z-axis will operate between thesheets. The relative value willbe specified, that means theaxis will be lifted between thesesheets with this value.
