Calling the tool data in a program
Chapter I - 2 explained how to enter the length and diameter of
your tools in the tool table.
The tool data stored in the table can also be called from a program.
Then if you change the tool during program run you don't need to
select the new tool data from the tool table every time.
The
TOOL CALL
command automatically pulls the tool length and
diameter from the tool table.
You define the tool axis for program run in the program.
If you enter a different tool axis in the program than is
stored in the table, POSITIP stores the new tool axis in
the table.
