Entering Tool Data In The Table - HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 - CONVERSATIONAL PROGRAMMING User Manual

Entering tool data in the table

You can define and store up to 30 000 tools and their tool data in a tool
table. In Machine Parameter 7260, you can define how many tools are
to be stored by the TNC when a new table is set up. Also see the
Editing Functions later in this chapter. In order to be able to assign
various compensation data to a tool (indexing the tool number),
MP7262 must not be equal to 0.
You must use tool tables if
you wish to use indexed tools such as stepped drills with more than
one length compensation value (see page 178)
your machine tool has an automatic tool changer
you want to measure tools automatically with the TT 130 touch
probe (see the Touch Probe Cycles User's Manual)
you want to rough-mill the contour with Cycle 22, (see "User's
Manual for Cycles, ROUGH-OUT")
you want to work with Cycles 251 to 254 (see "User's Manual for
Cycles," Cycles 251 to 254)
you want to work with automatic cutting data calculations.
