10. TOOL FUNCTION (T FUNCTION)PROGRAMMING

Tool life management data consists of tool group numbers, tool numbers,
codes specifying tool compensation values, and tool life value.
The Max. number of groups and the number of tools per group that can
be registered are set by parameter (No. 039#0, #1) (Table 10.2.1).
Table 10.2.1 The max. number of groups and tools
that can be registered

tools without optional function

NOTE
When bits 0 or 1 of parameter 039 is changed, re–register
tool life management data with the G10L3 command (for
registering and deleting data for all groups). Otherwise, new
data pairs cannot be set.
Specify a two or four–digit number after T.
Codes specifying tool offset values are classified into H codes (for tool
length offset) and D codes (cutter compensation). The maximum code
numbers that can be registered to specify a tool offset value are 200. Code
number 99, however, cannot be used.
NOTE
When codes specifying tool offset values are not used,
registration can be omitted.
Refer to subsections 10.2.2 and 10.2.4.
