If no tool is registered with a tool group, none of a life count type, a
tool life value, and a tool life counter value can be set for the tool
group. First of all, add a tool number (T code).

NOTE

1 As for USING GROUP or NEXT GROUP editing:

<1> During automatic operation (OP signal = “1”

and bit 1 (TCI) of parameter No. 6804 = 1),
only the tool life counter can be changed.

<2> In the reset state (OP signal = “0” and RST

signal “0”), the following editing operation
stops life management because it cannot be
continued.
-  Adding tool numbers (T code)
-  Deleting all tool group data at a time
-  Deleting tool data (status, T code, H code,

and D code)

2 The following editing operations may set the tool

change signal to ”1”.

- Selecting tool skip for the last tool.
- Deleting tool numbers, resulting in any tool other

than those whose life has expired or who have
been skipped being not found in the tool group of
interest.

3 The following editing operations may reset the tool

change signal to ”0”.

- Adding tool numbers, leading to tools whose life

has not expired being set in the tool group of
interest.

- Selecting tool clear.

Procedure

- Setting a life count type, tool life value, tool life counter, tool data, arbitrary group

number, and remaining set value

Setting a life count type, tool life value, tool life counter, tool data,
arbitrary group number, and remaining set value
Method 1
1

Place the cursor on the desired item.

Enter a value from the keypad.

Press soft key [INPUT].

Method 2
1

Place the cursor on the desired item.

Enter a value from the keypad.

3 Press

NOTE

1 Changing a tool life value or tool life counter does

not affect the tool status or tool change signal.

2 Changing a life count type causes the tool life value

and too life counter to be reset to 0.

If the tool life management B function is enabled (bit 4 (LFB) of
parameter No. 6805 = 1) and the following parameters are enabled,
arbitrary groups and remaining set values can be specified
OPTION GROUP:

Arbitrary group number
(if bit 5 (TGN) of parameter No. 6802 = 1)

REST COUNT:

Remaining set value used until a new tool is selected
(if bit 3 (GRP) of parameter No. 6802 = 1)

If the tool life management B function is enabled (bit 4 (LFB) of
parameter No. 6805 = 1)
Turret type (bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No. 5040 = 0)

•

OPTION

GROUP:

Cannot be set.

•

REST

COUNT:

It is possible to set a remaining set value to be used until a new
tool is selected (if bit 3 (GRP) of parameter No. 6802 = 1).

ATC type (bit 3 (TCT) of parameter No. 5040 = 1)

•

OPTION

GROUP:

Arbitrary group numbers can be set (if bit 5 (TGN) of parameter
No. 6802 = 1).

•

REST

COUNT:

It is possible to set a remaining set value to be used until a new
tool is selected (if bit 3 (GRP) of parameter No. 6802 = 1).

- Adding tool numbers

Tool numbers can be added to a tool group as follows:
1

Select the MDI mode.

Place the cursor on the tool data (T code, H code, or D code) just
before a tool number to be added.

Enter the tool number from the key pad.

Press soft key [INSERT].

(Example)

Adding tool number 1550 between numbers 1 and 2 (for the M
series)
1

Move the cursor to the data for number 1, enter “1550”, and
press [INSERT].

2 The entered T code 1550 is inserted in the position of

number 2. The H and D codes are reset to 0.

- Deleting all tool group data at a time

All tool group data can be deleted at a time as follows:
1

Select the MDI mode.

Place the cursor on the tool data (T code, H code, or D code) just
Select the tool group from which all tool data you want to delete
at a time.

Press soft key [DELETE].

Press soft key [GROUP].

Press soft key [EXEC].

- Deleting tool data

Tool data can be deleted from a tool group as follows:
1

Select the MDI mode.

Place the cursor on the tool data (T code, H code, or D code) you
want to delete.

Press soft key [DELETE].

Press soft key [<CURS>].

NOTE

1 Deleting all tools from a tool group is equivalent to

deleting the tool group itself.

2 Deleting a tool indicated with @ (in use) results in @

being moved to the previous tool whose life has
expired or which has been skipped.

Select the MDI mode.

Place the cursor on the tool data (T code, H code, or D code) for
a tool you want to skip.

Press soft key [STATE].

Press soft key [SKIP].

- Specifying to clear tool data (life re-set)

Tool data state can be cleared as follows:
1

Select the MDI mode.

Place the cursor on the tool data (T code, H code, or D code) for
a tool you want to clear.

Press soft key [STATE].

Press soft key [CLEAR].

- Selecting a tool group

A tool group can be selected as follows:
Method 1
1

Enter a tool group number from the keypad.

Press soft key [NO.SRH].

NOTE

If arbitrary group numbers are enabled, a tool group
is selected by searching for an arbitrary group
number rather than the tool group number.

Displaying and Setting Workpiece Setting Error

Compensation Data

An amount of error used in workpiece setting error compensation can
be

set on the workpiece setting error screen.

The workpiece setting error screen is displayed as follows:
1

Press function key

Press chapter selection soft key [WORD SET ER].
The workpiece setting error screen appears.

Up to 7 sets (No. 01 to No. 07) of different amounts of workpiece
setting error can be specified. In addition, it is possible to specify an
amount of error (No. 00 (COMMON)) to be added to an error in the 7
sets in common.

The X-direction error

∆

x, Y-direction error

∆

∆

z are specified, respectively, in the x, y, and z fields. The rotational

errors

∆

b, and

∆

c are specified, respectively, in the a, b, and c

fields.
