TRACE 

 

To select the trace mode, press the menu key 

 

 

TRACE 

. 

When the trace mode is selected, the machine position is indicated by a triangle mark. If this tool mark does 
not appear, it is because the machine position is outside the screen display range. In this case, change the 
display range (explained below) and move the coordinates, or widen the display range by greatly increasing 
the scale value.  
The machine position is always drawn in the trace mode. The actual movement by automatic or manual 

operation is drawn. The machine zero point appears as a 

 mark.

deformed as the command speed increases. Correct shapes especially cannot be drawn during 
high-speed machine lock. Set the cutting feed to 2000mm/min. or less.
