Set the tool holder parameters:
ToolHolderWizard
With the ToolHolderWizard you can use a tool-holder template to
create a tool holder with exact dimensions. HEIDENHAIN provides
templates for tool holders. Your machine tool builder may also provide
tool holder templates.
Follow the procedure below to assign carrier kinematics to a tool:
U Select any machine operating mode.
U Press the TOOL TABLE soft key to select the tool
table.
U Set the EDIT soft key to ON.
U Select the last soft key row.
U Show the list of available kinematics: The TNC
displays all tool holder kinematics (.TAB files) and all
tool-holder kinematics you have already
parameterized (.CFX files).
U Call the ToolHolderWizard
U Select the tool-holder template: The TNC opens the
window for selecting a tool-holder template (files with
extension CFT)
U Use the mouse to select the tool-holder template for
which you want to enter parameter values and
confirm with Open
U Enter all of the parameters shown in the left window.
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the next
input field. After value entry, the TNC updates the 3-
D view of the tool holder in the window at bottom
right. As far as is available, the TNC displays an
illustration in the upper right window graphically
showing the parameter to be entered.
U Enter the name of the defined tool holder in the
Output file input field and confirm with the Generate
file soft key. It is not necessary to enter the file
extension (CFX for parameterized)
U Exit the ToolHolderWizard
Operating the ToolHolderWizard
The ToolHolderWizard is operated in the same way as the
FixtureWizards: (see “Operating FixtureWizard” on page 345)
Before you start the ToolHolderWizard, you must have
copied the tool-holder template to be parameterized to the
TNC!
