Automatically Switching Out the Worn Milling Bur (Intelligent Tool Control)
During milling, the milling bur wears out and may need to be replaced.
If you want to have the worn milling bur switched out automatically during milling, use Intelligent Tool Control.
Intelligent Tool Control is a function for consecutively using three milling burs that are all the same type. When a milling bur reaches
its replacement time, it is automatically switched with a milling bur that has not been used. Therefore, milling can be continued for
a long time without any loss in milling quality.
Procedure
In the top window of VPanel, select the machine for
which you want to set Intelligent Tool Control.
Click .
The "Milling bur management" dialog box is displayed.
Set the milling burs that you want to use Intelligent Tool Control to switch between automatically into
multiple milling bur stockers (two or three locations).
Milling burs with the same name are set as a single unit. When the milling bur in use reaches its replacement time, it is
automatically switched with the next milling bur.
Milling Bur Replacement Time
When all the milling burs are new
The milling bur with the smaller milling bur stocker number in the combination is used rst.
Example: If Intelligent Tool Control is set to the combination of stocker 1, stocker 2, and stocker 3, stocker 1 is used.
When at least one milling bur has been used but has not reached its replacement time
Among the milling burs that have not reached their replacement times, the milling bur with the longer work time is given priority
when determining which milling bur to use.
When all the milling burs have reached their replacement times
The milling bur with the shorter work time is given priority when determining which milling bur to use.
