Tool management
With the tool management, your machine tool builder can provide
many functions with regard to tool handling. Examples:
„ Easily readable and, if you desired, adaptable representation of the
tool data in fillable forms
„ Any description of the individual tool data in the new table view
„ Mixed representation of data from the tool table and the pocket
table
„ Fast sorting of all tool data by mouse
„ Use of graphic aids, e.g. color coding of tool or magazine status
„ Program-specific location diagram of all tools
„ Program-specific usage sequence of all tools
Calling tool management
U Press the TOOL TABLE soft key to select the tool
table
U Switch to the next soft-key row
U Select the TOOL MANAGEMENT soft key: The TNC
goes into the new table view (see figure at right)
In the new view, the TNC presents all tool information in the following
four card registers:
„ Tools :
Tool specific information
„ Tool pockets :
Pocket-specific information
„ T usage list :
List of all tools in the NC program that is selected in the Program
Run mode (only if you have already made a tool usage file, see “Tool
usage test,” page 173)
„ T usage order :
List of the sequence of all tools that are inserted in the program
selected in the Program Run mode (only if you have already made a
tool usage file, see “Tool usage test,” page 173)
Tool management is a machine-dependent function,
which can also be completely deactivated. The machine
tool builder defines the exact range of functions, so refer
to your machine manual.
The following describes only those functions that are
available in TNC as standard features.
You can edit the tool data only in the fillable form view,
which you can activate by pressing the FORM soft key or
the ENT key for the tool that is highlighted on the screen.
