7.1 Tool Management Mode of
Operation
You usually program the coordinates for the contour
by taking the dimensions from the drawing. To enable
MANUALplus to calculate the slide path, compensate
the cutting radius and determine the proportioning of
cuts, you need to enter the tool length, cutting radius,
tool angle, etc.
MANUALplus can save tool data for up to 99 tools,
whereby each tool is identified with a number (1...99).
For each tool, you can enter an additional tool
description which makes it easier to find the tool data
again when needed.
The Machine mode has functions for determining the
tool length dimensions (see “Setting up Tools” on
page 54).
Wear compensation is managed separately. This
allows you to enter new compensation values at any
time, even during program run.
You can assign specific cutting data to the tools
(spindle speed, feed rate) which is then transferred
simply at the touch of a key as cycle parameters or
machine data. This saves you a lot of time since you
only need to determine and enter the cutting data
once.
Tool types
Tools for drilling, recessing, finishing, etc., have very
different shapes. Therefore, the reference points for
determining the tool length and other tool data also
vary.
MANUALplus differentiates:
„ Lathe tools—this group comprises:
„ Roughing tools
„ Finishing tools
„ Fine-finishing tools
„ Copying tools
„ Button tools
„ Recessing tools—this group comprises:
„ Recessing tools
„ Undercut tools
„ Parting tools
„ Recess-turning tools
„ Thread-cutting tools: All kinds of threading tools
except tapping tools
