Tool Type (Sd 42950: Tool_Length_Type) - Siemens SINUMERIK 840Di Function Manual

Detailed Description
2.8 Special handling of tool compensations
Note
For representation in tables, it is assumed that geometry axes 1 to 3 are named X, Y, Z. The
axis order and not the axis identifier determines the assignment between a compensation
and an axis.
Three tool length components can be arranged on the 6 different types above.
2.8.5

Tool type (SD 42950: TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE)

Definition of the assignment between tool length components (length, wear and tool base
dimension) and geometry axes independent of tool type.
Setting data not equal to zero: (the default definition is applied)
A distinction is made between turning and grinding tools (tool types 400 to 599) and other
tools (milling tools).
The value range is from 0 to 2. Any other value is interpreted as 0.
The assignment of tool length components is always independent of the actual tool type.
• Value = 1: Always as for milling tools
• Value = 2: Always as for turning tools
Toolholder with orientation capability
Setting data SD42900-SD42950
Setting data SD42900-SD42950 have no effect on the components of an active toolholder
with orientation capability. The calculation with a toolholder with orientation capability always
allows for a tool with its total resulting length (tool length + wear + tool base dimension). The
calculation of the resulting total length allows for all modifications caused by the setting data.
