CIMCO

104Simulate the program to verify the toolpath the same way we did earlier in this tutorial.It is possible to generate toolpaths with both Mill Interior and Mill Outline selected underParameters. This will create both the pocket operation on the inside, and the milling of thecontours.The example program “CIMCO 456” can be used as subprogram to another program bysimple cut-and-paste, but can also be completed as an independent program, providing it issupplied with the code lines for Program Start/Program Stop, Tool Change, and Feed/Speed,which you can quickly add either manually or with the Macro function in CIMCO Edit 5.Important noticeThe final execution of the program depends to a high degree of the applied macro programs.It is also important that the correct set-up of CNC-Calc is used for each machine/control.It is very important to verify/simulate the programs before they are executed on amachine. Please pay special attention to the movements in the Z axis, and make surethat they run with the required feed and rapid move speed.
