Additional information
The "Tool offset data", "Cutting edge user data" and "Tool user data"
softkeys are always displayed when you edit the tool details. This
allows you to toggle between the individual tables as required.
A tool entered in the cabinet can be loaded to a magazine location via
the "Tool from cabinet" softkey.
Function
The "Batch processing of tools" function allows the user to:
• Load and unload, delete and store tools in the cabinet in a single
process for several tools.
• Monitor the progress of execution.
• Utilize the "Reactivate tools" function.
Parameterizable filters are used to select the tools. These enable you
to create a snapshot of the tool data inventory of the NC containing all
tools with the properties specified in the filter definition, e.g., all tools
with particular tool status bits set, with a particular tool type, with a
certain length, with particular OEM data, etc.
The search is carried out exclusively in the NC.
Batch processing for tools can be initiated via the operator interface
and monitored there. Loading, unloading and reactivation can take
place in the background, even if the associated interface is not active.
The filter definition and some of the interface settings are carried out
in the paramtm.ini and patm_xx.ini files for tool management.
