Preparing machining processes (optional)

Depending on the intended use, the machine setter (Setup) can prepare the unit
for a special machining process through configuration of the tool tables and preset
tables.
Creating a tool table
You usually enter the coordinates according to the workpiece dimensions specified
in the drawing.
In the Milling application mode, the unit can calculate the path of the tool center
point by means of the so-called tool radius compensation. To do this, you must
enter the Tool length and Tool diameter for every tool.
In the Turning application mode, you must enter the X tool coordinate and the Z
tool coordinate of the turning tool used. You can perform tool setting directly on
the lathe using the Set tool data function.
On the status bar you can access the tool table, which contains these specific
parameters for each tool that is used. You can save a maximum of 99 tools in the
tool table.
