Broken tool detection – radial checking
(subroutine L9864)
Subroutine L9864 is used to check for breakage of cutting tools. The
Broken tool cycle uses a radial check, where the tool is moved
through the laser beam in the direction used for radius/diameter
setting.
Typically, a tool needs to be checked after a machining operation to
verify that it is not broken before the next tool is selected.
Description
Detection of a broken tool occurs while the tool is rotated in the
beam. Moves through the beam are at the rapid feedrate.
