6.2.12 Backing up/importing tool or zero point data
Apart from programs, you can also save tool data and zero point
settings.
You can use this function, for example, to save the tool and zero point
data for a specific sequential control program. If you want to execute
this program at a later point in time, you will then have quick access to
the relevant settings.
Even tool data that you have measured on an external tool setting
station can be copied easily into the tool management system using
this option. For further details, see:
References: /FBSP/, Description of Functions ShopMill
You can choose which data you want to back up:
• Tool data
• Magazine loading
• Zero points
• Basic zero point
You can also specify the amount of data to be backed up:
• Complete tool list or all zero points
• All tool data or zero points used in the program
You can only read out the magazine assignments if your system
provides support for loading and unloading tool data to and from the
tool-holding magazine (see Sec. "Loading/unloading tools").
