A pre–tool list is used to set pre–tool data required for automatic tool selection. When automatic tool selection
is not performed, or tools are automatically selected by other means, no data needs to be set in the pre–tool
list.
Automatic tool selection performed with the FANUC standard program is based on this pre–tool list. Tools are
not selected according to an algorithm directly from the radius and effective depth of a hole to be tapped.
Instead, the machining know–how of the operator or plant is given priority; tools are selected before a program
is developed, and their usage sequence is set in this pre–tool list.
he pre–tools included in a pre–tool list are represented by the tool management numbers of tools that are used
before a tool is used (for example, in a process for tapping or boring).
(1) In a pre–tool list, a group of tools ranging from the first pre–tool, second pre–tool, and so on to the last pre–
tool used before the final tool is registered as a pattern. In addition, auxiliary tools, such as a chamfer tool,
can be registered.
When specifying a tap, however, set it not as an auxiliary tool but as a pre–tool.
(2) For one pattern, up to 10 tools can be registered. Four patterns can be registered on one screen, and a
total of up to 80 patterns can be registered.
(3) To set a management number, move the cursor to the management number item with the cursor keys ,
(↑ , ↓ , ← , → ) type a numeric value, then press <INPUT> on the MDI keyboard.
(4) The tool name and nominal diameter corresponding to the entered tool management number are found
in the tool file and are automatically displayed. If the tool file does not contain the tool management number,
**** is displayed. If data is not set for the number, no data is displayed.
(5) To cancel an entered tool management number, press <0> then <INPUT>, or press <CAN> then <INPUT>
as the tool management number.
(6) Type a pattern number on the MDI keyboard, then press [NO. SEARCH]. The pre–tools for the pattern
number are displayed.
