Tool management With integral PLC, the tool changer is moved either via proximity
switch or as a controlled axis. Tool management including tool life
monitoring and replacement tool monitoring is carried out by the
MANUALplus 620.
Tool calibration Tools can be measured and checked using the TT tool touch
probes (accessory). The control features standard cycles for
automatic tool measurement. The control calculates the probing
feed rate and the optimal spindle speed. The measured data is
stored in a tool table.
