You can adapt the tool geometry (length and radius/diameter) to the
wear-induced geometry in the tool wear list.
The following monitoring modes can also be selected for a tool.
• Monitoring of the effective operating time (tool life)
• Monitoring of number of tool load operations (quantity)
• Monitoring of wear
• Other tool status data (disable tool, tool in fixed location, oversized
tool)
Example of a tool wear list with variable location allocation
The magazine locations with tools are specified in the magazine list.
The list also indicates whether the magazine location is disabled
(location disable) and the properties (tool status) assigned to the
tools.
You can set a machine data to determine whether all tools must have
a variable or fixed location assignment in the magazine.
If you select a variable location assignment, the tools are taken to the
next available space in the magazine after a tool change. With a fixed
location assignment, the tools are always taken back to the location
assigned specifically to them.
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions for details
about location assignments in the tool magazine.
