8.15 Grinding-specific tool monitoring in parts programs (TMON, TMOF)

Note
Tool orientation
It is not possible for the control to check whether the rotation angles calculated by means of
the frame orientation are settable on the machine.
If the rotary axes of the toolholder are arranged such that the tool orientation calculated by
means of the frame orientation cannot be reached, then an alarm is output.
The combination of tool precision compensation and the functions for tool length
compensation on movable toolholders is not permissible. If both functions are called
simultaneously, an error message is issued.
The TOFRAME function allows a frame to be defined on the basis of the direction of
orientation of the selected toolholder. For more information please refer to chapter "Frames".
When orientation transformation is active (3, 4 or 5-axis transformation), it is possible to
select a toolholder with an orientation deviating from the zero position without causing output
of an alarm.

Function
The command TMON is used to activate geometry and speed monitoring for grinding tools
(types 400-499) in the NC parts program. Monitoring remains active until it is deactivated in
the parts program with TMOF.
