Replacement tools

During tool life monitoring the program run is stopped
simple
when a tool is worn out. However, the program run is then
resumed and concluded.
If you use
the tool life monitoring with replacement tools
function, the control automatically inserts the replacement tool
as soon as the tool is worn out. The control does not stop the
program run until the last tool of the tool sequence of exchange is
worn out.
You can define replacement tools when setting up the turret. The
interchange chain can contain more than one replacement tool. The
interchange chain is a part of the NC program. In the T commands,
you program the
first tool
Defining replacement tools:
Place the cursor on the previous tool
Press the ENT key
Enter the ID no. of the replacement tool (Tool
dialog box)
Define the replacement strategy
When using multipoint tools, you define in the replacement
strategy whether the complete multipoint tool or only the worn-out
cutting edge of the tool is to be replaced by a replacement tool:
0: Complete tool (default): If a cutting edge of the multipoint
tool is worn out, the tool will no longer be used
1: Secondary cutting edge or any: Only the worn-out cutting
edge of the multipoint tool is replaced by another tool or
another cutting edge. Any other cutting edges of the multipoint
tool that are not worn out will continue to be used.
