3.3 Tool life management
The compound machining function has two command modes which are a
turning mode and a milling mode. Tools for turning and milling are housed in
a common magazine. Therefore, both kinds of tools have to be managed in
the same tool life management function.
The tool management is started by T code because a tool is changed by only
T code in current T system. However, in the machine with ATC, T code is
used for specifying the position of magazine and the actual tool change is
done by M06.
The tool life management of M06 can started by the parameter setting
(No.13001#0 TM6=1) in the turning mode.
3.3.1 Specifications
Tools are classified into various groups, with the tool life (time or frequency
of use) for each group being specified. The function of accumulating the tool
life of each group in use and selecting and using the next tool previously
sequenced in the same group, is called the tool life management function.
This function manages the life of tools grouped into several types. And, a new
tool is selected after tool life runs out.
The data in order to manage tool life come from tool group number, a tool,
and tool life with their group. Their data are input to CNC.
