7.4.1 Tool inspection
The PLC mark M5050 "TOOLINSP" determines when tool inspection is enabled.
Once tool inspection has been selected, it is possible:
• To move the axes to the tool change point.
• Select another tool.
• To modify the tool values.
• To resume program execution.
To move the axes to the tool change point.
To move the axes with the handwheels or the jog keypad to the point where the tool will be changed.
Select another tool.
The standard screen of the TC mode must be selected in order to be able to make a tool change.
Press the [T] key. The CNC highlights the tool number.
Modifying the tool values (dimensions and geometry).
It is possible to modify the dimensions of the tool (offsets I, K to compensate for wear) or the values
for tool geometry.
Press the [ESC] key to exit this screen and go back to the previous one (still in tool inspection).
Resuming program execution.
There may be 2 cases; either only one axis moved or several did.
• Only one axis moved.
The CNC repositions it and resumes the execution.
• Both axes moved.
The CNC will show a window with the following options to choose the order the axes will be
repositioned.
PLANE The axes of the X-Y plane move at the same time.
Z-X When moving the axes of the plane, the Z axis moves first and then the X.
X-Z When moving the axes of the plane, the X axis moves first and then the Z.
TOOLINSP=0 Tool inspection is possible after pressing [STOP].
TOOLINSP=1 Pressing [STOP] interrupts the execution of the program. To move the
axes and do a tool inspection, press the [T] key once the execution of
the program has been interrupted.
Type in the number of the tool to be selected and press [START] so the CNC selects the
new tool. The CNC will manage the tool change.
Press the key associated with tool calibration. The CNC shows the screen for tool
calibration.
Press the [START] key to resume program execution. The CNC will reposition the tool
by moving it to the point where tool inspection began.
