CIMCO CNC-Calc 2 Tutorial

Figure 7.14 NC codes for the complete pocket mill program.Simulate (Backplot) the program to verify the toolpath.Start the graphic simulation program Backplot from the menu list and click on thefirst menu item, Backplot Window.Figure 7.15 Start Backplot.The simulation of all the tool movements is started by clicking thepanel below the Backplot window.icon on the bottomThe simulation speed is infinitely variable between back and forth by sliding thecontrol.During simulation Backplot will hilight the corresponding NC code to the left. Similarly,a click on a line in the NC code will position the simulation tool according to that line. Astepwise movement is possible by using the arrow-up and arrow-down keys of thekeyboard.10
