Tool Management

MANUALplus differentiates between the following tool types:

• Lathes
• Recessing tools
• Threading tools
• Drills
• Tapping tools
• Millers (cutters)

See the list at right to allocate individual tools to the tool types.

Information regarding tool data
The datum for determining the “Setup dimensions X, Z“ is based on
the characteristic shape of each tool. The graphic support window de-
scribes the reference-point position for the selected tool type.

Tool orientation: Determines the position of the tool tip, setup angle
direction, reference-point position, etc.

Driven tool: Determines whether the main spindle or a driven tool is
turning to drill the centered bore hole.

If the direction of rotation is defined, M3/M4 is automatically gener-
ated for the spindle or for the secondary spindle.

• Tool parameters whose identification letters are shown in gray

can be entered optionally. MANUALplus uses these param-
eters when specific cycle parameters are not entered, when
plunging angles or feed rates need to be calculated, etc.

• With driven tools, the cutting data always refer to the

auxiliary spindle.
