The complete learning process — It’s just like being on the shopfloor
In order to make it easy for
first-time users and trainees
to learn machine functions,
this computer-based training
contains programming tasks
that must be completed one
module at a time. As a result,
you will learn every detail
including the control,
machining space and
tool change.
