Tool Library
(from Main Screen: F1 Setup ► F2 Tool ► F1 Tool Lib)
The definitions in the Tool Library associate tool (T) numbers with height offset (H) and diameter (D) numbers, the
default coolant type, spindle direction, and spindle speed for the tool, and a text description of the tool. This
information is used by the Intercon-programming package (described in Chapter 10) to provide defaults whenever a
tool change is selected. For enhanced ATC features, the (T) numbers are also associated with bin numbers. See
Chapter 14 for more information about enhanced ATC features (parameter 160).
Note: If enhanced ATC features are not on, the cursor cannot be moved into the bin column and the message “Bin
fields are locked.” will appear where the tool in spindle display is located. In addition, the F1 – Clear Bin and F2 –
Clear All keys only appear if enhanced ATC features are on.
You can inspect and change any of the 200 tool definitions. To edit a Tool Library definition move to the desired
tool number with the arrow keys, Page Up, Page Down, HOME, and END. To change Height Offset numbers,
Diameter numbers, default spindle speed values and the tool description, type a new value into the field and then
press ENTER. To change the default spindle direction and coolant press SPACE to cycle through the possible
values. When the changes are complete press F10 - Save to save the Tool Library and exit.
Bin
This field specifies which bin location, or ATC carousel position, that the tool is occupying. Valid values are –1
(shown as dashes “---“) through the maximum number of tools specified by machine parameter 161. A value of 0
indicates that the tool is in the spindle. The F1-F2 keys will work when the cursor is in the Bin column.
F1 - Clear Bin – places dashes “---“into the bin field (same as entering –1).
F2 - Clear All – places dashes into every bin field.
Note: For enhanced ATC applications, the bin numbers will be updated when tool changes are completed. For
random, or arm type tool changers, tools in the spindle are placed into the bin where the next tool is picked up, and
not necessarily from the bin which it was originally taken.
