Managing tool data is of prime importance for the control of machine tools.
Among other things, the tool data cover:
●
tool identification,
●
correction value calculation,
●
Tool life management
●
type definition, etc.
In the Rexroth IndraMotion MTX, the tool data blocks are divided into 2 parts:
●
System data for the unique identification of tools
●
User tool data for application-specific tool data.
When the "Tools" operating range is activated, the tool list that is defined as the
start list appears first. The information required for this is saved in file "Tool‐
ManagementApp.xml" and in the list configuration files referenced within it.
From this list, F- or M-key functions can be used to retrieve additional configured
list displays; furthermore, the list configuration (display method) or the list query
(content) can be changed. In order to be able to completely edit a data block,
the tool editor can be retrieved from the tool list of the selected entry.
The data of the external tool corrections are maintained in a database. The
database is subdivided into database tables. Presently, 2 database tables are
available. By default, database table 1 is used for managing the data of the
external tool corrections. Accordingly, database table 2 is available for man‐
aging pallet data, for example.
All tool lists show, in table form, a number of tool data records resulting from
the list definition. The data of a data set are shown in a group of lines consisting
of one or more lines (also called a partial list or a sublist) in the tool list. The tool
data are always displayed according to location, i.e. each partial list embodies
a (occupied or unoccupied) tool location. Depending on the list definition, tool
lists can differ both according to number and properties of the displayed data
sets and according to their method of display and the contained data elements.
