5.4 ShopMill tool management

Function
ShopMill tool management allows workshop-compatible tool
management of milling machines.
The following lists are available to you for this function:
•
Tool list
•
Tool wear list
•
Magazine list
You enter the tools and their offset data in the tool list/tool wear list.
You can see from the magazine list which magazine locations are
disabled or not.
The tool list displays all tools and their offset data stored as a tool
data block in the NC, irrespective of whether they are assigned to a
magazine location. The tool list offers the current tool types for which
geometric and technological data can be assigned.
Load/Unload
When a tool is loaded, it is taken to a magazine location.
Unloading removes the tool from the magazine.
Sorting
The tools in the tool list and tool wear list can be sorted according
to magazine location, name, and type.
Machine data can be set to hide the "Load," "Unload" and "Sort"
softkeys.
Manual tools
Manual tools are included in the tool list, but not stored in the
magazine. They must be attached to the spindle by hand.
This list specifies which wear data (length and radius/diameter) are to
be taken into account. The following types of monitoring can also be
defined for a tool:
•
Monitoring of the effective operating time (tool life)
•
Monitoring of number of tool load operations
•
Additional tool status data (disable tool, tool in fixed location,
oversized tool)
