Function
The function "Batch processing of tools" allows the operator to:
·
Load and unload, delete and store tools in the cabinet in one
common job for several tools.
· Monitor the progress of execution.
· Utilize the "Reactivate tools" function.
Parameterizable filters are used to select the tools. These enable you
to create a snapshot of the tool data inventory of the NC containing all
tools with the properties specified in the filter definition, e.g. all tools
with particular tool status bits set, with a particular tool type, with a
certain length, with particular OEM data, etc.
The search is carried out exclusively in the NC.
Job processing for tools can be initiated via the operator interface and
monitored there. Loading, unloading and reactivation can take place
in the background, even if the associated interface is not active.
The filter definition and some of the interface settings are carried out
in the paramtm.ini and patm_xx.ini files for tool management.
The machine operator can use the "Job processing for tools" function
to load, unload and reactivate sets of tools according to predefined
filter criteria.
· Load
· Unload and
· Reactivate
The function is available within the tool management.
The parameters and other settings for the filter criteria are made in the
paramtm.ini file without a separate operator interface.
