- Type for counting time
Operations performed when a life is counted by counting time are
explained below.
Suppose that the tool management data is set as listed below.
Also suppose that the cartridge management table is the same as for
the type for counting the number of use times.

For the type for counting time, the time (in seconds) taken to execute
such a cutting block is added to the counter value.
(1) The life count reaches 3600 seconds (the maximum tool life), and
the tool life expires.
(2) The CNC changes the tool life status for tool management data
number 1 to 3 (life has expired).
(3) The CNC searches for a tool that has the same tool type number
and has a remaining life.
(4) Individual tool change signal TLCHI <F064#2> is set to 1.
(5) When the lives of all tools having the same tool type number
have expired, tool change signal TLCH <F064#0> is set to 1.
(6) Even when the tool life has expired, machining is continued until
the machining program ends.
