Entries in the tool table TOOL.T
Abbr.
Inputs
Dialog
CUT
Number of teeth (20 teeth maximum)
Number of teeth?
LTOL
Permissible deviation from tool length L for wear
detection. If the entered value is exceeded, the TNC
locks the tool (status
L). Input range: 0 to 0.9999 mm
Wear tolerance: length?
RTOL
Permissible deviation from tool radius R for wear
detection. If the entered value is exceeded, the TNC
locks the tool (status
L). Input range: 0 to 0.9999 mm
Wear tolerance: radius?
DIRECT.
Cutting direction of the tool for measuring the tool during
rotation
Cutting direction (M3 = –)?
R_OFFS
Tool length measurement: Tool offset between stylus
center and tool center. Default setting: No value entered
(offset = tool radius)
Tool offset: radius?
L_OFFS
Tool radius measurement: tool offset in addition to
offsetToolAxis between upper surface of stylus and
lower surface of tool. Default: 0
Tool offset: length?
LBREAK
Permissible deviation from tool length L for breakage
detection. If the entered value is exceeded, the TNC
locks the tool (status
L). Input range: 0 to 0.9999 mm
Breakage tolerance: length?
RBREAK
Permissible deviation from tool radius R for breakage
detection. If the entered value is exceeded, the TNC
locks the tool (status
L). Input range: 0 to 0.9999 mm
Breakage tolerance: radius?
Input examples for common tool types
Tool type
CUT
TT:R_OFFS
TT:L_OFFS
Drill
– (no function)
0 (no offset required
because tool tip is to be
measured)
End mill
with diameter
of < 19 mm
4 (4 teeth)
0 (no offset required
because tool diameter is
smaller than the contact
plate diameter of the TT)
0 (no additional offset
required during radius
measurement. Offset from
offsetToolAxis is used)
End mill
with diameter
of > 19 mm
4 (4 teeth)
R (offset required because
tool diameter is larger than
the contact plate diameter
of the TT)
0 (no additional offset
required during radius
measurement. Offset from
offsetToolAxis is used)
Radius cutter
4 (4 teeth)
0 (no offset required
because the south pole of
the ball is to be measured)
5 (always define the tool
radius as the offset so
that the diameter is not
measured in the radius)
