Statistics

Introduction

This topic will explain the Statistics tab and the information it contains. This topic will also provide links to related topics.

The Statistics tab

The Statistics tab shows useful information about the machining process. It is grouped into three main sections.

  • Move - shows information about the current move

  • Operation - shows information about the current operation, such as the cycle time

  • Sequence - shows information about all operations together

Move

This shows information about the current move:

  • Move - This item specifies the block number for the current move.

  • Feed rate - This item specifies whether the current move is a FEED or RAPID move.

  • Move Type - This item specifies the type of the current move e.g.; approach-line, retract - line, contour-line;contour- arc; lead-in/out-arc.

  • RTCP mode - This item specifies if RTCP (machine angle based) functionality is enabled or not for the current move.

  • Machine Time - This item specifies the machining time for the current move.

  • Spindle Speed - The items that are in this group, give information related to spindle setting for the current move.

  • Tool Tip Position - The items from this group provide details related to X, Y, Z coordinates of the tool tip, for the current move.

  • Tool Center Position - The items from this group provide details related to X, Y, Z coordinates of the tool center, for the current move.

  • Machine Angles - The items from this group provide details related to machine angles that are set for the current move.

Operation section

This shows information about the current operation:

  • Operation - This item specifies the number of the current operation and also the comments introduced by the user.

  • Block - This item provides information related to the current block number from current operation/total blocks number of that operation.

  • Tool - This item gives details related to the tool that is used.

  • Operation Machining Time (current/total) - This item specifies the machining time for the current operation (the total time of the moves, that were simulated from the current operation/the total time of all the moves from that operation).

  • Feed Rate Time - This item specifies the total feed rate time, considering the entire current operation (feed moves).

  • Rapid Rate Time - This item specifies the total rapid rate time, considering the entire current operation (rapid moves).

  • Waiting time - This item specifies the total time, defined by the user as waiting time, from current operation.

  • Changing Tool Time - This item specifies the total time, defined by the user as changing tool time, from current operation.

  • Operation Toolpath Length (current/total) - This item specifies the toolpath length for the current operation (the total length of the moves, that were simulated from the current operation/the total length of all the moves from that operation).

  • Feed Rate Length - This item specifies the total toolpath length, considering the entire current operation (feed moves).

  • Rapid Rate Time - This item specifies the total toolpath length, considering the entire current operation (rapid moves).

  • Min/Max - The items from this area provide information related to minimum/maximum values for X, Y and Z axis and feedrate, considering the entire current operation.

Sequence section

This shows information about all operations

  • Number of operations - This item indicates the total number of operations from the entire simulation.

  • Block - This item provides information related to the current block number from the simulation/total blocks numbers from the entire simulation.

  • Number of Tools - This item gives details related to the number of tools used in the entire simulation.

  • Number of Tools Changes - This item specifies how many times the tool was changed in the entire simulation.

  • Total Machining Time (current/total) - This item specifies the machining time for the entire simulation (the total time of the moves, that were simulated/the total time of all the moves from the entire simulation).

  • Feed Rate Time - This item specifies the total feed rate time, considering the entire simulation (feed moves).

  • Rapid Rate Time - This item specifies the total rapid rate time, considering the entire simulation (rapid moves).

  • Waiting time - This item specifies the total time, defined by the user as waiting time, from the entire simulation.

  • Changing Tool Time - This item specifies the total time, defined by the user as changing tool time, from the entire simulation.

  • Total Toolpath Length (current/total) - This item specifies the toolpath length for the entire simulation (the total length of the moves, that were simulated /the total length of all the moves from the entire simulation ).

  • Feed Rate Length - This item specifies the total toolpath length, considering the entire simulation (feed moves).

  • Rapid Rate Time - This item specifies the total toolpath length, considering the entire simulation (rapid moves).

  • Min/Max - The items from this area provide information related to minimum/maximum values for X, Y and Z axis and feedrate, considering the entire simulation.
