Create a machine file Start from the closest configuration template, run the test programs, download the file.

1 · Pick the closest configuration template

Can't find a close configuration? Tell us about your machine.

2 · Measure what this machine actually does

The values in a template are estimated from a machine class, not measured on yours. The ones that matter most are not on the control's parameter screen — tool change time, program start/end, how long the control takes to read one block and spindle ramp-up can only be measured. So the first section on this page is a set of air-cutting test programs: run them and copy back the cycle time the control shows. The remaining fields can be typed in by hand.

3 · Download the file

Below is exactly what will be downloaded; it updates as you edit. You cannot download it while validation fails. The header lists the fields you changed.

Load this file on the estimate page →

• On that page, click "Load machine file" and pick the .toml you just downloaded.
• The file records where each value came from: a template assumption, a test-program measurement, or a probe reading. The report labels them the same way.
