8.16.2 Specify wear and setup values ($TC_SCPxy[t,d], $TC_ECPxy[t,d])
Function
Wear and setup values can be read and written via system variables and the corresponding
OPI services.
The logic is based on the logic of the corresponding system variables for tools and tool
noses.
Programming
$TC_SCPxy [t,d] Wear values
or
$TC_ECPxy [t,d] Setup values
Parameter
$TC_SCPxy
Wear values are assigned to the corresponding geometry parameters
via xy, where x is the number of the wear value and y is the reference
to the geometry parameter.
$TC_ECPxy
Setup values are assigned to the corresponding geometry parameters
via xy, where x is the number of the setup value and y is the reference
to the geometry parameter.
t
T number of the tool
d
D number of the tool nose
Note
The defined wear and setup values are added to the geometry parameters and the other
offset parameters (D numbers).
Example
The wear value of length 1 is set to the value 1.0 for the tool nose (D number d) of the
tool (t).
Parameter: $TC_DP3 (length 1, with turning tools)
Wear values: $TC_SCP13 to $TC_SCP63
Setup values: $TC_ECP13 to $TC_ECP63
$TC_SCP43 [t, d] = 1.0
