Tool and tool magazine table.
Select the type of wear values to enter, incremental or absolute.
The tool offset wear (for length, radius, tip radius and offsets) may be entered with either
absolute or incremental values. The value shown by their respective fields in the tool table
are always absolute.
The option selected in the tool table will also be applied in the tool calibration mode.
Tool life monitoring
This group shows the data related to tool life monitoring. If a tool has been defined with
several offsets, it is possible to manage the status of each one.
When managing the live of two or more offsets of the same tool, the list of the magazine
positions (magazine table) only shows whether the tool has been rejected or not.
Type
It is used to activate and select the type of tool life monitoring (in time or number of
operations).
Nominal life
Machining time (in minutes) or number of operations that the tool may carry out.
Real (actual) life
Machining time or number of operation the tool has carried out. The CNC updates this value
when the tool is being used.
After pressing this icon, the CNC shows the dialog box for configuring the tool
table. Here, the user can define whether the wear values being entered are
incremental (box checked) or absolute (empty unchecked). By default, the wear
value being entered will be absolute.
When selecting an incremental wear, it is possible to define the maximum
increment possible; by default 0.5 mm (0.019685 inch). This data limits the wear
increment to be edited, not the maximum absolute wear possible. If no value is
defined, empty data, there will be no limit for the wear increment to be entered.
