3.3.2 Monitoring of tool life and quantity of workpieces
☑ Basic configuration
The SINUMERIK 802D sl pro offers automatic tool monitoring.
● You can monitor tool wear by observing tool life and/or workpiece quantity. If a tool
reaches its wear limit, an alarm is given automatically and the tool is suspended from
further machining.
● You can specify the following data in tool monitoring:
– Tool life, specified as a setpoint, and prewarning limit for tool monitoring. The time
remaining before the tool is deactivated is calculated and displayed.
– Workpiece quantity, specified as a setpoint, and prewarning limit for tool monitoring.
The workpiece quantity remaining before the tool is deactivated is calculated and
displayed.
– Tool monitoring can be activated for tool life and/or quantity of workpieces.
● When tool life monitoring is activated, tool life is monitored during the tool's operation time
(G1, G2, G3). Workpiece quantity is monitored using a program command at the end of
the part program, usually Setpiece(1).
Highlight
● Efficient monitoring of tool life and workpiece quantity is standard
