OPERATION

If movement about the C–axis is specified for Y–axis side facing, the
machining face is switched. The machining faces need not meet at right
angles as shown above. Five or more faces can be machined. The
machining statuses for the fifth and subsequent faces, however, cannot be
displayed together with the statuses of the first four faces. For example,
the machining status for the fifth face is drawn after the status displayed
for above has been erased.
When Y–axis end facing is simulated, the end face of the workpiece is
drawn in the same way as when C–axis end facing is simulated.
When the Y–axis machining function is added to a two–path lathe, the
following machining simulation screen is displayed:

Simulated Y–axis side facing is displayed at the top of the screen. If a
two–path lathe is used, the status of the latest Y–axis side facing is
displayed for each tool post.
NOTE
1 The field of the simulated Y–axis side facing is limited to an
area around the center of the workpiece. If the tool is moved
toward the upper or lower end of the workpiece, the tool will
not be displayed.
2 If machining is continued with an identical angular
displacement about the C–axis, but with different tools, the
tools are drawn using different colors.
3 To simulate Y–axis machining, set bit 0 (HSA) and bit 1
(GRY) of parameter 6502 to 1.
