Description
Detection of a broken tool occurs while the tool is rotated in the
beam. Moves into and out of the beam are at the rapid feedrate.
The tool first moves over the beam, in the X and Y axes, to the
measuring position and then moves, in Z, to the tool checking
position.
When a positive R11=h input is used, the tool is checked at the
broken tool position only. When a negative R11=h input is used, the
tool is checked at both the long tool and broken tool positions.
At the end of the cycle, the tool moves out of the beam to the safe
position in the spindle axis only.
Format [R11=h R13=m R19=s R25=y R26=z]

Subroutine inputs
The following inputs are used with this subroutine:
R11=h h= Tolerance value that defines when the tool is defined as
broken. A negative value (R11= –) checks the tool for
both broken and long tool conditions.
Default value: 0.5 mm (0.0197 in).
