Multipoint tools
A multipoint tool is a tool with multiple cutting edges or multiple
reference points. A data record is created for every cutting edge or
every reference point. Then all data records of the multipoint tool are
linked together (siehe „Editing multipoint tools” auf Seite 509).
For every data record of a multipoint tool, the position within the
multipoint tool chain is shown in the tool list in the column "MU."
Counting starts from 0.
In the turret list, multipoint tools are displayed with all cutting edges
and reference points.
The figure at right shows a tool with two reference points.
Tool life management
The MANUALplus can count either the machining time of a tool (i.e.
the time a tool is traversed at the programmed feed rate) or the
number of parts that were produced with that tool. These two options
are used for tool life management.
As soon as the tool life expires or the programmed quantity is reached,
the system sets
the diagnostic bit 1. This causes an error message to
be issued the next time the tool is called. If no replacement tool is
available, the program run is stopped.
To finish the workpiece currently being produced, press NC Start.
