Program editor

• Integrated editor with supporting cycles and visual guidance for easier operation and programming

Preliminary block run

• Allows completed NC code blocks to be skipped

Intermediate memory storage

• Allows stored data to be reused during the programming process

Setting data

• Allows JOG feed rates and speed limits to be entered

Dry run

• Helps identify and correct programming errors and potential collisions before machining begins

Automatic measurement of position offsets

• Measured position offsets are transferred when touching the workpiece

Automatic tool measurement

• Tool offsets are determined by touching the reference workpiece

Diagnostics

• Displays alarms, signals, software versions and customer information
