SINUMERIK 840D sl. Service - Functions. Manual (2018-2020)

Description of functions

8.14 Tool adapter

The position of the tool to the workpiece coordinate system is defined using the cutting edge

position (values 1 ... 8). Cutting edge position 9 corresponds to S = P.

Note

The cutting edge position is only used for turning tools because their geometry is described with

reference to P and not with reference to S as is the case for milling tools.

Adapter transformation for tools with three length components

The transformations defined here constitute a subset of all conceivable transformations. Only

certain discrete values are considered here - in particular those that meet the requirements for

turning tools (2 length components only).

System variables $TC_DP21 ... 23 and $TC_ADPT

If the function "Adapter" is active, then there is no further cutting-edge specific data for the "Base

adapter dimension".

In order to keep cycles that operate with adapter data compatible, the following rules apply:

If a tool is located at a magazine location with an adapter and the adapter data is accessed via

the system variable $TC_DP21...23, then the adapter parameters of the location can be read.

Description of functions

8.14 Tool adapter

$TC_ADPT1[a] of the adapter is actually accessed, i.e. the same machine data is accessed for all

d₁, ... d_n.

If the assignment of the tool to the magazine location is released or the adapter is removed from

the magazine location, no more data can be assigned to the parameters. A read operation

returns the value 0, a write operation does not change the data (nor does it generate an alarm).

Transformed and non-transformed offset values

The values included in the path offset are usually the transformed working offsets.

It can generally be said that the data that describes a tool is subject to transformation. The

transformation of the adapter is communicated to the tool (orientation in which it is positioned

in the adapter). The adapter data itself is not transformed.

Data transfer to the NC

You need to declare how the data is transferred to the NC.

• You can transfer the data via the part program by programming the system variable $TC_...

The parameters are defined as non-transformed values.

• The transfer can take place via the OPI using the variable services. In this case, the data can

be transferred either as transformed or non-transformed values.

Constraints

When using the function (magazine-location-oriented) "adapter data" the user must ensure that

the old data records of all the data records with edge-specific adapter data are adapted to the

requirements of the new function.

However, using the described edge-specific adapter parameter definition (system variables

$TC_DP21,...23), it is possible that all old data is converted to the adapter data function by the

NC.

The function "Adapter data" excludes the existence of the cutting-edge specific data "base /

adapter dimension".

Tool management

Function Manual, 10/2020, 6FC5397-1HP40-0BA1

531

Description of functions

8.14 Tool adapter

The function "adapter data" is better suited to the applications of an adapter because it defines

the adapter as part of the magazine location and not as part of the tool or cutting edge.

Example 1

Specifications:

• MM_NUM_TOOL_ADAPTER = -1

• MM_NUM_MAGAZIN_LOCATION = 20

• One chain with 16 locations, magazine number = 1

• Two grippers

• One spindle

• One loading and unloading point

• Assignment

When creating the 20 locations in all, 20 adapters should be assigned, i.e. exactly one adapter

assigned to each location.

Note

It does not matter if the real locations are not actually fitted with an adapter. Preassigned adapter

locations have no effect on the offset. When equipping a location with a real adapter make sure

that the appropriate values are assigned to the adapter data.

The transformation number of the adapter in location 3 of the chain magazine (No. 1) is to be

changed to the new value 8:

$TC_ADPTT[$TC_MPP7[1,3]] = 8

;$TC_MPP7 contains the number of the adapter at the new mag-

azine location

Once adapter data records have been automatically generated and assigned, operations such as

undoing an assignment, renewed definition of an assignment and deletion of an adapter data

record are possible.

Example 2

Specifications:

• MM_NUM_TOOL_ADAPTER = 4

• MM_NUM_MAGAZIN_LOCATION = 20

• One chain with 16 locations

• Two grippers

• One spindle

• One loading and unloading point

Tool management

532

Function Manual, 10/2020, 6FC5397-1HP40-0BA1

Description of functions

8.14 Tool adapter

There are 4 different adapter geometries in this case. Adapters must be configured for the chain

only.

Assignment

These locations (20 in total) are initially created without adapters. Locations 1 to 4 of the chain

are equipped with adapters of the same geometry (here adapter 1). 4 chain locations are to be

equipped with adapters with the same geometry.

First, you must define the 4 adapter data records. Now you assign them:

$TC_MPP7[1,1] = 1

$TC_MPP7[1,13] = 4

$TC_MPP7[1,2] = 1

$TC_MPP7[1,14] = 4

$TC_MPP7[1,3] = 1

$TC_MPP7[1,15] = 4

$TC_MPP7[1,4] = 1

$TC_MPP7[1,16] = 4

….

In this way you can assign one adapter data record to several magazine locations.

Note

If you want to delete an adapter data record with a multiple assignment you must make sure that

you first undo all the adapter assignments.

8.14.5.5

Transformed data of the active tool $P_ADT[n]

The system variable $P_ADT reads the offset parameters $TC_DP1,... etc. of the active tool offset

transformed according to the tool adapter. See also the system variable $P_AD (Section

"Additional language commands (Page 320)") that reads the non-transformed parameters.

Without the function "Tool adapter", $P_AD and $P_ADT have the same meaning - as a

subfunction of the function "Tool management magazine" (TMMG).

When the function "Tool adapter" is active, the $P_ADT provides transformed values, when the

offset parameters are read, of those parameters that are subject to the tool-adapter

transformation if the active tool is on a tool adapter when the parameters are read. The

parameters not subjected to the transformation still provide the same values during reading as

$P_AD.

When writing, the transformed parameter values subject to the tool-adapter transformation are

accordingly transformed back by the NC and are subsequently saved in a non-transformed form

in the NC. Non-transformed values are still written with $P_AD.

Adapter type 2 (angle head adapter) (option)

8.14.6.1

Assigning an angle head adapter

Assigning an angle head adapter and tool to a multitool

To ensure that the angle head adapter is calculated when the tool offsets are determined, it must

be assigned to a multitool location on which the tool to be used will be located.

To this end, first a multitool (Page 450) with one location is defined. An adapter of type 2 is then

assigned to this location:

$TC_MTPP7[n,m] = <AdapterNo>

n = multitool number

Tool management

534

Function Manual, 10/2020, 6FC5397-1HP40-0BA1

Description of functions

8.14 Tool adapter

m = multitool location number (= 1) because only one location is allowed.

<AdapterNo> = number of the defined adapter of type 2

For a detailed description of the adapter data, see$TC_MTPP - Multitool location data (Page 217).

The angle head adapter is first set on a multitool location with $TC_MTPP7. Thereafter a tool is

set on the location with $TC_MTPP6.

For adapters of type 1, the system variables $TC_MPP7 and $TC_MPP6 are used.

System variables (type 1 and type 2)

The following system variables are available for processing adapters and tools:

$A_TOOLADAPT[tNo]: The variable provides the number of the adapter that is assigned to

the magazine location. If the tool is located on a multitool, the variable has the same value for

the tool ([tNo] and the multitool ([mtNo]).

$A_TOOLMTADAPT[tNo]: The variable provides the adapter number of the adapter that is

assigned to the multitool location on which the tool is currently located.

See also $A_TOOLADAPT - Assignment of tool to adapter (Page 307).

Assignment rules

• The adapter data are only taken into consideration if a tool is placed on a multitool location

with an adapter.

• The data of an adapter with an active tool can be changed.

• For a turret as the owner magazine, the calculation is done by the owner location with the

adapter.

• No adapter can be assigned to a multitool location on which a tool is already located.

• An existing adapter cannot be displaced by assigning an adapter to a magazine location. The

assignment with $TC_MPP7[magNo, locNo]=0 must first be resolved for this.

• An adapter can be used by several magazine locations/multitool locations, but each

magazine location/multitool location can only be assigned one adapter.

Angle head adapter - tool and adapter separate

Angle head adapter (type 2)

This function "angular head adapter type 2" is an option:

Order number: 6FC5800-0BM56-0Yx0

For angle head adapters of type 2, it is possible to describe the angle head and tool separately.

Description of functions

8.14 Tool adapter

The driven part of the adapter is called the "drive end". The part into which the tools are inserted

is called the "load side".

Angle head with rotation-symmetrical tool

Angle head adapter with rotation-dependent tool

① C axis

② A axis

③ C₁ axis

The geometry of the angle head adapter can be described via a kinematic chain. The chain is the

default and cannot be changed. Only linear offsets and angle offsets can be entered.

Basic position of the angle head in case G17 without additional machine data

• The C axis is parallel to the positive Z axis

• The position C=0 is defined in such a way that the orientation of the following rotary axis

points in the direction of the positive X axis. The 2nd rotary axis is thus an A axis.

• In position A=0, the 3rd linear element points in the direction of the positive Z axis.

• The 3rd rotary axis C1 at the end of the 3rd linear element describes the non-rotation-

symmetrical "normal orientation" of the tool. The position C₁ =0 is defined in such a way that

the orientation for C=0 and A=0 points in the direction of the positive X axis. This is irrelevant

for rotation-symmetrical tools (see above).

Direction of rotation and orientation of the 3 rotary axes of the angle head

The 3 rotary axes that can be respectively rotated about the center of the axis in the direction

+A1, +A2 or +A3 are located at the end of the three vectors. The direction and rotation are

illustrated by the blue arrows.

The offsets and angles are defined by system variables, see Linear offsets and direction vectors

(Page 538).

The default settings of the 3 rotary axis directions are set in such a way that they correspond to

the simpler basic form (for G17 and $SC_TOOL_LENGH_CONST=default,

$SC_TOOL_LENGH_TYP=default) text:

1. Rotary axis direction (0,0, 1)

2. Rotary axis direction (1, 0, 0)

3. Rotary axis direction (0, 0, 1)

The values for the directions are always available if the angle head adapter function is active.

Linear offsets and direction vectors

Linear offsets

The 3 linear offsets are entered via the system variables $TC_ADPT_OFF[n,3,3].

The arrays describe 3 three-dimensional vectors, which describe the direction in space. An

offset can be assigned to each vector:

Base length for the adapter

Description

The base dimension (base length) for tools without an adapter function is contained in the

system variables $TC_DP21 - $TC_DP23. When an angle head adapter is used, the tool offset gets

an offset that is displayed in the base length ($TC_DP21 - $TC_DP23).

If an adapter is active, the data of the following system variables are used:

Description of functions

8.15 Power failure while tool command is in progress

8.15

Power failure while tool command is in progress

If a power failure occurs during an action requested by tool management, defined strategies are

executed by the PLC or special part programs, in order to establish a defined and consistent

status on the machine and the tool management system. These strategies are machine-

specific. SINUMERIK control systems thereby support the following measures:

Buffered data

All tools, magazine data as well as all magazine assignments are buffered.

Data initialized for control "Power On"

The following data is set to zero:

• Tool status "Tool change in progress"

• Magazine status "Motion is active"

• Magazine location status "Reserved for tool to be loaded"

• The PI-command status with respect to magazine operations like e.g. "Motion is active"

• The tool status selected for 1:1 exchange

Task of the manufacturer's configuration

The PLC must send the last unacknowledged FC 7 or FC 8/FC 6 prior to power failure (READY did

not change to TRUE before power off) back to the NC when the power supply is restored. The

function "Asynchronous transfer" is used for tool transfer in FC 8/FC 6.

Without receiving the request from the tool management system, the PLC initiates a relocation

of tool data from one location to another. For example, relocation of tool data from gripper to

magazine if the tool needed to be returned manually to the magazine when the tool change

operation was aborted.

Changes in position of the tools involved must be communicated via FC 8. The NC then updates

the data for this tool in the tool management.

Further strategies may be necessary, e.g. if a tool change was interrupted. Tools stored in the

buffer must be returned to the magazine for this purpose.

You use the "New Tool" dialog to supply a new tool with specific tool data before creating the tool

or before loading the tool to a magazine location. These are typically the tool size and/or the tool

location type because these parameters can no longer be changed when the tool is loaded. It is

also useful to display the tool type and the tool names in this window.

You use the "New Multitool" dialog to supply a new multitool with specific multitool data before

creating the multitool or loading it into to a magazine location. Multitool data typically includes

the number of multitool locations and spacing between locations, as these parameters cannot

be changed once the multitool has been created. The same applies to the multitool size and/or

multitool location type as to the tool size and tool location type. These parameters, too, cannot

be changed once they have been loaded into the tool. It is also a good idea to display the

multitool name in this window.

In the <NEWMULTITOOLCONFIGURATION>tag, specify the parameters that you wish to have

displayed in the "New Multitool" dialog.
