Using a tool usage test
Before starting a program in the Program Run, Full Sequence/
Single Block operating modes, you can use the TOOL USAGE and
TOOL USAGE TEST soft keys to check whether the tools being used
in the selected program are available and have sufficient remaining
service life. The TNC then compares the actual service-life values in
the tool table with the nominal values from the tool usage file.
After you have pressed the TOOL USAGE TEST soft key, the TNC
displays the result of the tool usage test in a pop-up window. To
close the pop-up window, press the ENT key.
You can query the tool usage test with the FN18 ID975 NR1
function.
