18.3.3 Description of the tool data
The right panel of the tool table shows the data of the tool selected on the list. This data must
be defined by the user. If the CNC has tool life monitoring, the CNC will be in charge of
updating the value of the actual (real) life.
Configuring the tool data display
The data being shown in the tool table may be set up from the vertical softkey menu.
Description of the tool data
The tool data is grouped as follows:
• Tool identification.
• Tool geometry.
• Tool monitoring.
• Information for the magazine.
•Custom.
• Comment.
Tool identification
Information identifying the tool: number, name, family, number of tool offsets and status.
Tool number
The tool number is assigned automatically when the tool is added to the list. This number
may be changed if it is not in the magazine, in the spindle or on the tool changer arm.
The tool number may be any integer between 1 and 999999999; by default, it is assigned
the first available value on the list. When entering an existing tool number, the CNC displays
the data for that tool.
Tool name
Name identifying the tool. This data can also be defined on the tool list. The tool name may
be up to 32-characters long.
Tool family
A tool family is a group of tools that share similar characteristics. This information is used
when using an automatic tool changer so the CNC can replace the worn-out or rejected tool
with a similar one.
