Preprocessing memory, dynamic FIFO

Preprocessing memory, dynamic FIFO

Function

The traversing blocks are prepared prior to execution and stored in a preprocessing memory (FIFO = first in first out) of specifiable size. In contour sections that are machined at high velocities with short path lengths, blocks can be executed from this preprocessing memory at very high speed.

The preprocessing memory is constantly reloaded during execution. Block execution can be interrupted with the STARTFIFO command until the preprocessing memory has been filled, or STOPFIFO (start high-speed machining section) or STOPRE (stop preprocessor) can be programmed.

Benefits

• Increased productivity due to fast execution
