On the MANUALplus 620, you can use the handwheel to perform simple operations, such as turning or facing, just as on any conventional lathe. Standard machining operations, such as area clearance, slot milling, recess turning, undercutting, parting, thread cutting, drilling, and milling are stored in the MANUALplus 620 as cycles. You simply enter the positions, dimensions and specifications, and the control will automatically run the machining program.
Help graphics and dialogs illustrate the few entries needed for the cycles. Before cutting, use the simulation to assure yourself that the machining will run as planned.
You will always find the appropriate cycle in the cycle menus of the MANUALplus. Help graphics and dialogs explain the operation, all required dimensions and other entries. After entering these values, you can graphically inspect the cutting process and let the operation run automatically.
