Editing tool tables

The tool table that is active during execution of the part program is
designated TOOL.T. Tool.T is automatically active in a Program Run
operating mode. In the Programming and Editing mode, tool tables
can also have other names.

To open the tool table TOOL.T:

Select any machine operating mode.

To select the tool table, press the TOOL TABLE soft
key.

Set the EDIT soft key to ON.

To open any other tool table

Select the Programming and Editing mode of operation.

Call the file manager.

Select an existing file with the extension .T and press
the COPY soft key. Enter a new file name and confirm
with the ENT key.

When you have opened the tool table, you can edit the tool data by
moving the cursor to the desired position in the table with the
arrow keys (see figure at upper right). You can overwrite the stored
values, or enter new values at any position. The available editing
functions are illustrated in the table at right.

If the TNC cannot show all positions in the tool table in one screen
page, the highlight bar at the top of the table will display the
symbol >> or << .

To leave the tool table:

Finish editing the tool table: Press the ”End” soft key or the END
key.

Call the file manager and select a file of a different type, e.g. a
part program.

If you edit the tool table parallel to tool change the TNC
does not interrupt the program run. However, the
changed data does not become effective until the next
tool call.

User parameter MP7266 defines which data can be
entered in the tool table and in what sequence the data
is displayed.
