5.2 Tool data
If you open a pop-up window for tool selection, the
TNC marks all tools available in the tool magazine
green.
You can also search for a tool in the pop-up window.
To do so, press the GOTO or SEARCH soft key and
enter the tool number or tool name. With the OK soft
key you can load the tool into the dialog box.
Example: Tool call
Call tool number 5 in the tool axis Z with a spindle speed 2500 rpm
and a feed rate of 350 mm/min. The tool length and tool radius 2
are to be programmed with an oversize of 0.2 and 0.05 mm, the
tool radius with an undersize of 1 mm.
20 TOOL CALL 5.2 Z S2500 F350 DL+0.2 DR-1 DR2+0.05
The character D preceding L, R and R2 designates delta values.
Preselection of tools
The preselection of tools with TOOL DEF can vary
depending on the individual machine. Refer to your
machine manual.
If you are working with tool tables, use a TOOL DEF block to
preselect the next tool. Simply enter the tool number or a
corresponding Q parameter, or type the tool name in quotation
marks.
