4 MACHINING PROGRAM
4-50
A. Tool function [4-digit T-Code for turret-indexing systems]
Tool function, also referred to as T-code function, is used to designate the tool number. Of a
four-digit integer at address T, upper and lower two digits are respectively used to specify the
tool number and trailing zeros (00).
Use bit 4 of parameter F162 to select the number of digits for the tool function (0 or 1 for 4- or
6-digit T-code).
T 00. ;
Tool ID code
Tool number
Designate the tool ID code with reference to the settings on the TOOL DATA display.
Only one T-code can be included in a block, and the available range of T-codes depends on the
machine specifications. For further details, especially on how to number the actual tools to be
used, refer to the operating manual of the relevant machine.
The T-code can be given with any other commands in one block, and the T-code given together
with an axis motion command is executed, depending upon the machine specifications, in one of
the following two timings:
The T-code is not executed till completion of the motion command, or
The T-code is executed simultaneously with the motion command.
Remark: Instead of zeros, other numerals can be specified as well in the lower two digits
without exercising any influence upon the machine control.
B. Tool function [6-digit T-Code for turret-indexing systems]
This function is also used to designate the tool number. Of a six-digit integer at address T, upper
and lower three digits are respectively used to specify the tool number and trailing zeros (000).
See the above description of the 4-digit T-code for the meaning of the decimal fractions.
The available range of T-codes depends on the machine specifications. For further details, refer
to the operating manual of the relevant machine.
Only one T-code can be included in a block.
Use bit 4 of parameter F162 to select the number of digits for the tool function (0 or 1 for 4- or
6-digit T-code).

Remark: Instead of zeros, other numerals can be specified as well in the lower three digits
without exercising any influence upon the machine control.
