Entering tool data in the table
You can define and store up to 9999 tools and their tool data in a tool
table. Also see the Editing Functions later in this Chapter. In order to
be able to assign various compensation data to a tool (indexing tool
number), insert a line and extend the tool number by a point and a
number from 1 to 9 (e.g. T 5.2).
You must use tool tables if
„
you wish to use indexed tools such as stepped drills with more than
one length compensation value (
"VF s¢)
„ your machine tool has an automatic tool changer
„
you want to rough-mill the contour with Cycle 22 (see “ROUGH-
OUT (Cycle 22)” on page 262)

age exceeds this value, the TNC changes the tool during the next
TOOL CALL
(see also CUR.TIME).
Maximum tool age for TOOL CALL?
CUR.TIME Current age of the tool in minutes: The TNC automatically counts
