Entering tool data in tables
You can define and store up to 32 767 tools and their tool data in a tool
table. In Machine Parameter 7260, you can define how many tools are
to be stored by the TNC when a new table is set up. Also see the
Editing Functions later in this Chapter. In order to be able to assign
various compensation data to a tool (indexing the tool number),
MP7262 must not be equal to 0.
You must use tool tables if
n
you wish to use indexed tools such as stepped drills with more than
one length compensation value,
n
your machine tool has an automatic tool changer,
n you want to measure tools automatically with the TT 130 touch
probe (see the Touch Probe Cycles User’s Manual, Chapter 4),
n you want to rough-mill the contour with Cycle G122 (see “ROUGH-
OUT (Cycle G122)” on page 344),
n you want to work with automatic cutting data calculations.

T Number by which the tool is called in the program
(e.g. 5, indexed: 5.2) –
NAME Name by which the tool is called in the program Tool name?
L Value for tool length compensation L Tool length?
R Compensation value for the tool radius R Tool radius R?
R2 Tool radius R2 for toroid cutters (only for 3-D radius compensation
or graphical representation of a machining operation with
spherical or toroid cutters) Tool radius R2?
DL Delta value for tool length L Tool length oversize?
DR Delta value for tool radius R Tool radius oversize R?
DR2 Delta value for tool radius R2 Tool radius oversize R2?
LCUTS Tooth length of the tool for Cycle 22 Tooth length in the tool axis?
ANGLE Maximum plunge angle of the tool for reciprocating plunge-cut in
Cycles 22 and 208 Maximum plunge angle?
TL Set tool lock (TL: Tool Locked) Tool locked?
Yes = ENT / No = NO ENT
RT Number of a replacement tool (RT), if available (also see TIME2) Replacement tool?
TIME1 Maximum tool life in minutes. This function can vary depending
on the individual machine tool. Your machine manual provides
more information on TIME1. Maximum tool age?
