Tool table: Tool data required for automatic tool measurement
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?
TIME2
Maximum tool life in minutes during TOOL CALL: If the current tool
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
the current tool life (CUR.TIME). A starting value can be entered
for used tools.
Current tool life?
DOC
Comment on tool (up to 16 characters)
Tool description?
PLC
Information on this tool that is to be sent to the PLC
PLC status?
PLC-VAL
Value of this tool that is to be sent to the PLC
PLC value?
PTYP
Tool type for evaluation in the pocket table
Tool type for pocket table?
NMAX
Limits the spindle speed for this tool. The programmed value is
monitored (error message) as well as a shaft speed increase via
the potentiometer. Function inactive: Enter –
Maximum speed [rpm]?
LIFTOFF
Definition of whether the TNC should retract the tool in the
direction of the positive tool axis at an NC stop in order to avoid
leaving dwell marks on the contour. If Y is entered, the TNC
retracts the tool from the contour by up to 30 mm, provided that
this function was activated in the NC program with M148 (see
“Automatically retract tool from the contour at an NC stop:
M148” on page 321).
Retract tool Y/N ?
P1 ... P3
Machine-dependent function: Transfer of a value to the PLC.
Refer to your machine manual.
Value?
KINEMATIC
Machine-dependent function: Kinematics description for vertical
milling heads, which the TNC adds to the active machine
kinematics.
Additional kinematic description?
T-ANGLE
Point angle of the tool. Is used by the Centering cycle (Cycle 240)
in order to calculate the centering depth from the diameter entry.
Point angle (Type DRILL+CSINK)?
PITCH
Thread pitch of the tool (currently still without function)
Thread pitch (only type TAP)?
AFC
Control setting for the adaptive feed control AFC that you have
defined in the NAME column of the AFC.TAB table. Apply the
feedback-control strategy with the ASSIGN AFC CONTROL
SETTING soft key (3rd soft-key row)
Feedback-control strategy?
