5.4 ShopMill tool management
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. ShopMill then
takes this information into account when calculating the tool length or
radius compensation. This ensures a consistent accuracy in
workpiece machining.
You enter the wear data for a tool that you have created in the tool
wear list.
The upper limits are set in a machine data code.
Operating sequence
Select the "Tool wear" softkey.
Example of a tool wear list with variable location allocation
Place the cursor on the tool whose wear data you want to enter.
Enter the differences for length (∆Length X, ∆Length Z) and
radius/diameter (∆Radius/∆∅) in the appropriate columns.
The wear data entered is added to the radius but subtracted from the
tool length. A positive differential value for the radius therefore
corresponds to an oversize (e.g. for subsequent grinding).
