10.2.3 Tool Life Management Command in a Machining Program
Explanations
- Command
The following command is used for tool life management:
Txxxxxxxx ; Specifies a tool group number.
The tool life management function selects, from a specified
group, a tool whose life has not expired, and outputs its T
code.
In Txxxxxxxx specify a number calculated by adding the tool
life management cancel number specified in parameter7440 to
a group number. For example, to set tool group 1 when the
tool life management cancel number is 100, specify T101;
M06 ; Terminates life management for the previously used tools, and
begins counting the life of the new tools selected with the T
code.
H99 ; H code registered in the tool life management data of the tool
currently being used, which enables tool length compensation.
By using parameter No. 7443, tool length compensation can
be enabled by an H code other than 99.
H00 ; Cancels tool length offset
D99 ; D code registered in the tool life management data of the tool
currently being used, which enables cutter compensation. By
using parameter No. 7444, cutter compensation can be
enabled by a D code other than 99.
D00 ; Cancels cutter compensation
NOTE
When xxxxxxxx is less than a tool life management
cancel number, the T code is treated as an ordinary T
code.
NOTE
H99 or D99 must be specified after the M06
command.
If a code other than H99, D99, and the H/D codes set
for parameters Nos. 7443 and 7444 is specified after
the M06 command, H or D codes in the tool life
management data cannot be selected.
NOTE
1 M06 is treated as an M code without buffering. B
2 When an option for speciofying multiple M codes is
selected, specify this code by itself or as the first M
code. (See II-11.2)
