696 Operating Manual, 01/2015, 6FC5398-8CP40-5BA2
All parameters and functions that are required during operation are contained in the tool
wear list.
Tools that are in use for long periods are subject to wear. You can measure this wear and
enter it in the tool wear list. The control then takes this information into account when
calculating the tool length or radius compensation. This ensures a consistent level of
accuracy during workpiece machining.
You can automatically monitor the tools' working times via the workpiece count, tool life or
wear.
Note
Combination of monitoring types
You have the option to monitor a tool by a type or any combination of monitoring types can
be switched on.
