Simulation run

Simulation run

For detailed information how the process sequence was defined you could run a simulation.

HMI Simulation

Simulation page

In this page we run the simulation for the program. Program name and its dimension are displayed at the top. We can play, pause, and reset the simulation. The slider shows the progress of simulation. It can be dragged to the left to rewind or right to forward the simulation.

zoom This button is used to zoom in the program.

original position This button is used to bring the program to the original position.

zoom out This button is used to zoom out the program.

move left This button is used to move the program to the left.

move right This button is used to move the program to the right.

move top This button is used to move the program to the top.

move bottom This button is used to move the to the bottom.

Selecting done will close the simulation window.

Part simulation

You could also see with the laser diode in the laser test mode where the part will be cut on the sheet. Just select the option while running the part in laser test mode.
