The tool management system is organized by means of various
configurable lists which show different views of the tools used.
In the "Magazine list", the tools of a magazine are displayed in order
of ascending magazine location numbers.
You can find, display and, in the majority of cases, modify the data. A
function is also provided for checking the D numbers and
subsequently activating tools.
This list is mainly used to load and unload tools during setup, and to
move tools between magazines.
In the "Tool list", the tools are displayed in the order of ascending T
numbers.
You use this list if you are working with small tool magazines and
know the exact location of each tool in each of the magazines.
The cutting edges of active replacement tools are displayed in the
"Working offset list". They are sorted in order of ascending D
numbers.
You can search (according to D number/DL
modify the data.
Important
Use this list to modify and monitor sum offsets (location-dependent
offsets), quantities and cutting edge parameters during the machining
process. You can configure up to three different views for the working
offset list.
The TOA is assigned to multiple channels and is effective in the
channel in which the took is active. If you want to change the wear in
the list of working offsets without having to call the tool again at the
next NC Start, ensure that the correct channel is selected for this tool.
