Calling tool data

A TOOL CALL block in the part program is defined with the following

data:

Select the tool call function with the TOOL CALL key

Tool number

: Enter the number or name of the tool.

The tool must already be defined in a TOOL DEF block

or in the tool table. Press the TOOL NAME soft key to

enter the name. The TNC automatically places the

tool name in quotation marks. Names always refer to

an entry in the active tool table TOOL .T. You can also

use the QS soft key to define a string parameter

containing the name of the tool to be called. If you

wish to call a tool with other compensation values,

also enter the index you defined in the tool table after

the decimal point. There is a SELECT soft key for

calling a window from which you can select a tool

defined in the tool table TOOL.T directly without

having to enter the number or name: See also "Editing

tool data in the selection window" on page 200.

Working spindle axis X/Y/Z

Spindle speed S

: Enter the spindle speed directly or

allow the TNC to calculate the spindle speed if you are

working with cutting data tables. Press the S

CALCULATE AUTOMAT. soft key. The TNC limits the

spindle speed to the maximum value set in MP 3515.

Alternatively, you can define the cutting speed Vc in

m/min. Press the VC soft key

Feed rate F

: Enter the feed rate directly or allow the

TNC to calculate the feed rate if you are working with

cutting data tables. Press the F CALCULATE

AUTOMAT. soft key. The TNC limits the feed rate to

the maximum feed rate of the slowest axis (set in
