Tool management

Basics

Refer to your machine manual.
Tool management is a machine-dependent function,
which may be partly or completely deactivated. The
machine tool builder defines the exact range of functions.
In tool management, your machine manufacturer can provide a wide
range of functions for tool handling. Examples:
Display and editing of all tool data from the tool table and the
touch probe table
Easily readable and adaptable representation of the tool data in
fillable forms
Any description of the individual tool data in the new table view
Mixed representation of data from the tool table and the pocket
table
Fast sorting of all tool data by mouse
Use of graphic aids, e.g. color coding of tool or magazine status
Copying and pasting of all tool data pertaining to a tool
Graphic depiction of tool type in the table view and in the detail
view for a better overview of the available tool types
The Expanded Tool Management (option 93) additionally provides:
Program-specific or pallet-specific usage order of all tools
Program-specific or pallet-specific tooling list of all tools
If you edit a tool in tool management, the selected tool
is locked. If this tool is required in the NC program being
used, the control shows the message: Tool table locked.
