14.7.2.2 Tool protection area
Parameterize model use in the "Tool Protection Area" window.
You determine from where the controller gets the data for creating the machine model.
Further, you define the parameters to monitor and display the element.
For a protection area, the protection area element is automatically taken from the tool
management data. For instance, if you define a tool protection area for a tool in the spindle,
then for a tool change (M6), a new tool protection area element is created with the data of the
new tool.
Note
For the automatic tool protection area, a spindle must exist in the channel.
Note
Attaching a tool protection area
"Frame" type tool protection area elements may be attached to tool protection areas.
