Generating a tool usage file
Depending on the setting in the MOD menu, you have the following
options for generating the tool usage file:
Simulate the complete NC program in the Test Run operating
mode
Run the complete NC program in the Program Run, Full
Sequence/Single Block operating modes
In the Test Run operating mode, press the
GENERATE TOOL USAGE FILE soft key (also possible without
simulation)
The tool usage file generated is in the same directory as the NC
program. It contains the following information:
Column
TOKEN
TNR
IDX
NAME
TIME
WTIME
RAD
BLOCK
PATH
T

Meaning
TOOL: Tool usage time per tool call. The
entries are listed in chronological order.
TTOTAL: Total usage time of a tool
STOTAL: Call of a subprogram. The
entries are listed in chronological order.
TIMETOTAL: The total machining time
of the NC program is entered in the
WTIME column. In the PATH column
the control saves the path name of
the corresponding NC program. The
TIME column shows the sum of all TIME
entries (feed time without rapid traverse
movements). The control sets all other
columns to 0
TOOLFILE: In the PATH column, the
control saves the path name of the tool
table with which you conducted the test
run. This enables the control during the
actual tool usage test to detect whether
you performed the test run with TOOL.T
Tool number (–1: Tool not inserted yet)
Tool index
Tool name from the tool table
Tool usage time in seconds (feed time
without rapid traverse movements)
Tool-usage time in seconds (total usage
time between tool changes)
Tool radius R + Oversize of tool radius DR
from the tool table. (in mm)
Block number in which the TOOL CALL block
was programmed
TOKEN = TOOL: Path name of the active
main program or subprogram
TOKEN = STOTAL: Path name of the
subprogram
