TOOL AND MAGAZINE TABLE
Tool and tool magazine table.

(REF: 1807)
When requesting a new tool, the CNC checks whether it is worn out (real life greater than
nominal life) or it has been rejected. If so, it selects the next tool in the table that belongs
to the same family.
The family or a tool may be any integer between 0 and 99999999. The ·0· family is the same
as not having a family; i.e. the tools belonging to the ·0· family cannot be replaced with
another one.
Tool offsets
Number of tool offsets. Each tool offset has different geometry and monitory data associated
with it.
A tool can have up to 8 offsets. When a tool has several offsets, their numbers must be
correlative (non-skipping).
Tool status
It indicates the tool status. The possible status are:
When using tool life monitoring, the "worn-out" and "rejected" indicators are also set by the
CNC when any of the previous cases occur.
Tool geometry
This area shows the data about the tool type and its dimensions. The geometry data depends
on the type of tool. The table only shows the data that makes sense for the selected tool.
While defining the data, it shows various information graphics depending on the data being
defined. On the other hand, the bottom of the screen shows the description of the data
currently selected.
The data related to the geometry may be accessed with the following hotkeys:
Offset selection
The geometry data is associated with the tool offset. If the tool has been defined with several
offsets, it shows the number of the offset whose data is displayed, and it also allows selecting
Example of a milling tool with one offset (left) and two offsets (right).
Status Meaning
Available The tool is available.
Worn out The "real life" is greater than the "nominal life".
Rejected The tool has been rejected by the PLC.
Hotkey Access
L Length, length wear and edge length.
R Radius, radius wear, nose (tip) radius and nose (tip) radius wear.
A Penetration angle
O Offsets on each axis.
