Entering tool data in the table
You can define and store up to 30 000 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
„ you wish to use indexed tools such as stepped drills with more than
one length compensation value (See page 162)
„ your machine tool has an automatic tool changer,
„ you want to measure tools automatically with the TT 130 touch
probe (see the Touch Probe Cycles User’s Manual),
„ you want to rough-mill the contour with Cycle G122, (see “User's
Manual for Cycles, ROUGH-OUT”).
„ you want to work with Cycles 251 to 254 (see “User's Manual for
Cycles,” Cycles 251 to 254)
„ you want to work with automatic cutting data calculations.
