Tool measuring in JOG

Tool call for tool measuring in JOG
For special applications (e.g. measuring cycles in JOG), it is necessary to load a specific tool
(e.g. miller_15, duplo number 2) - independent of its status - onto the spindle or the
toolholder; this can be the case, for example, if a tool was being used but was locked by the
tool monitoring function. For the new release, it should now be measured.
The NC command TCA is available to call a tool independent of the status and by selecting
duplo and tool holder number; this is used when measuring tools in JOG.
TCA ("Tool name", duplo No., toolholder No.)
TCA behaves like the T command with respect to alarm and command output to the PLC.
Boundary conditions:
The following boundary conditions must be observed for an active T function replacement
(default setting for turning):
● TCA cannot be substituted (T replacement cycle).
● The cycle defined in MD10717: $MN_T_NO_FCT_CYCLE_NAME and executed with the
● The machine functions of the TCHANGE.SPF must be transferred into the TCA.SPF
Example:
The following example describes the sequence:
PROC TCA(STRING[64] _TOOL_NAME,INT _DUPLO,INT _TH_NO)
TCA(_TOOL_NAME,_DUPLO,_TH_NO)
; here, insert the machine functions for the change
M17
Note
The offset selection corresponding to MD20270: $MC_CUTTING_EDGE_DEFAULT acts in
the same way as for the T command. TCA and D must not be programmed in the same
block.

T call, is not started with the TCA command.
To ensure that a tool change cycle also starts when TCA is programmed, the language
command TCA must be redefined in _TCA (default setting NC).
cycle. The TCA.SPF cycle is in the Toolbox CD.
