SINUMERIK 840Di sl/840D sl/840D Operating Manual HMI-Advanced (BAD) - 01/2008 Edition
You can display and edit the complete data of a tool.
Call up the start screen for updating the tool data. You can display
and normally also edit all the data of the tool, its cutting edges and its
working offsets in this screen and subsidiary screens. The vertical
softkey bar changes.
The exact procedure is described under "Display/edit tool data" (see
Page "Display/edit tool data").
Two functions are implemented with this softkey:
• Verify unique D number assignment
Duplication can occur when assigning D numbers to the cutting
edges of the individual tools. This function checks all numbers
within the current magazine or all allocated D numbers within a TO
unit (configured by parameter).
• Activate the tools
If unique D numbers were assigned, a wear group is activated. A
tool is subsequently activated from each replacement tool group in
the TOA of the current channel. Allowance is made for the active
wear group.
Only automatically accessible magazines are considered for
processing. Any previously active tools are disabled by the activation
of tools, especially if the wear group is changed.
Display and hide the buffer window in the magazine list. The display
shows spindles, grippers, etc., i.e., locations which can accommodate
tools but which are not magazine locations. If no buffer is defined, this
key has no function.
