13.TOOL DATA BASE FUNCTION OPERATION

B-63874EN/05

13.1 SETTING OF TOOL OFFSET DATA

For a compound machine, the following data items are displayed for

the T mode:

(1) T : GEOMETRY OFFSET

(2) T : WEAR OFFSET

(3) T : TOOL DATA

(4) T : GEOMETORY TOOL TYPE OFFSET

(5) T : GEOMETORY WEAR TYPE OFFSET

(6) T : GEOMETORY DATA TYPE OFFSET

The following data items are displayed for the M mode:

(7) M : TOOL OFFSET (TOOL LENGTH COMP. / CUTTER

COMPENSATION)

(8) M : TOOL DATA

(9) M : TOOL TYPE OFFSET

(TOOL LENGTH COMP.

/

CUTTER COMPENSATION)

(10) M : TOOL TYPE DATA

Each mode can be selected with [M←→T] soft key.

For lathes, data items (1) to (6) are displayed. For machining centers,

data items (7) to (10) are displayed.

The data to be set and displayed in (1), (2) and (7) is common to the

corresponding data in CNC. For details, refer to the operator’s manual

of the CNC.

And for lathes, inputting tip radius value of milling tools in “radius” is

necessary. If not, sometimes alarm is given.

For data items

(4),

(5) and

(9), which are related to the tool

management function, see the description of

“Tool Management

Function” in Appendix.

For data items (3), (6), (8) and (10), which is about tool form data, see

next section.

OPERATION

13.TOOL DATA BASE FUNCTION

13.2 SETTING OF TOOL DATA

By selecting “tool data” tab in tool offset window, “tool data” setting

window is displayed. Tool data is the data that is necessary for

executing animation or cycle, and their items are tool radius, kind of

tool, name, setting and tool form data. Of all items, tool radius is

inputted into radius (for lathes) or cutter radius compensation (for

milling) in tool offset table. The rest is inputted in “TOOL DATA”

tab.

These data are reserved in SRAM, so once set, they aren’t deleted

though the power supply is cut. But more than 300 tools can’t be

inputted.

Besides, by parameter No.14850#0, you can decide whether “tool

data” tab is displayed or not.

13.2.1 Setting of Tool Type

By placing cursor on an item for selecting kind of tool, the following

soft keys appear. When appropriate soft key is pushed, a type of tool

is selected and its icon is displayed. Also tool name is displayed on the

right of the icon.

13.2.2

Editing of Tool Name

To edit tool name, place cursor on tool name, change mode into

character, input alphabets or numerals, and push INPUT.

This function is useful to distinguish similar tools.

13.2.3

Setting of Tool Set

When a cursor is placed on tool setting number, a guidance window is

automatically displayed in the right of the screen. By inputting tool

setting number and pushing INPUT, tool setting can be set.

13.2.4

Entering of Tool Data

By placing cursor on items of tool data, guidance window is

automatically displayed. By inputting tool data value and pushing

INPUT, tool data can be set. Then three-whole and one-decimal

number can be inputted when unit is [deg.]. When [inch] or [mm],

eight-figure number can be inputted. But numbers that is inputted to 7

decimal places are rounded off to 6 decimal places.

The names of item and the numbers of item depend on kind of tool.

See below about the detail. In this table, tools that don’t have to set

tool data are omitted.

Tool data isn’t necessary to execute milling cycle. So milling cycle

can be executed though tool data isn’t set.

SETTING OF TOOL GRAPHIC DATA

Several items are needed to execute machine simulation in addition to

items that explained up to here. These items are called Graphic Data.

Graphic Data is showed below.

13.4.1

Tool Graphic Data

Tool graphic data are defined by parameters, from No.27350 to

14.EDITING OF FREE FIGURE AND FIXED FORM FIGURE OF SUBPROGRAM FORM OPERATION B-63874EN/05

14.1 EDITING A FREE FORM FIGURE SUBPROGRAM

The operations are as follows.

(1) On the program editing screen, press the [INPUT] key or the

[ALTER] soft key after moving the cursor on the sub program

call command (M98 P****) which is composed by the free

figure blocks.

(2) The following window for editing the free figures included sub

program is displayed.

- 264 -

B-63874EN/05 OPERATION 14.EDITING OF FREE FIGURE AND FIXED FORM FIGURE OF SUBPROGRAM FORM

(3) On the window to finish editing the free figures, the operations

are as follows.

•

Pressing the [OK] soft key alters the existing blocks into the

editing figures in the machining program and returns to the

main program displaying screen.

But, at the case that the another free figures exist after the

editing figures, for example the island figures exist after the

pocket outer free figures, the editing window of the next

free figures is displayed.

•

At the case of editing the free figures for pocketing,

pressing the [ISLAND] soft key displays the window for

editing the free figures (“START POINT”) to make the new

island figures after altering the editing figures.

NOTE

On the editing sub program window, the free

figures cannot be output into the another sub

program.

- 265 -

14.EDITING OF FREE FIGURE AND FIXED FORM FIGURE OF SUBPROGRAM FORM OPERATION B-63874EN/05

(4) On the window of editing the free figures, pressing the

[CANCEL] soft key displays a window for the confirmation to

interrupt editing. From this window, pressing the [YES] soft key

cancels the editing operations and returns to the main program

displaying screen.

NOTE

1 During editing the subprogram of free figure,

displaying free figure editing window, this editing

mode is canceled and the editing window is closed

by the following operations. The selected program

is kept to the edited subprogram.

• Mode is changed to other than EDIT mode when

foreground editing is done.

• Change to CNC screen.

• Power turned off.

2 In this case, the free figure editing window is

closed. The program that is then displayed in the

program display area is a subprogram.

14.2

WARNING MESSAGE

The following warning messages are displayed at the editing of the

subprogram.

•

“SUB PROGRAM IS NOT FOUND”

When the [INPUT] key or the [ALTER] soft key is pressed after

moving the cursor on the sub program call command, this

warning message is displayed at the case that the program

number specified by address ’P’ doesn’t exists.

•

“PROGRAM IS PROTECTED.”

When the [INPUT] key or the [ALTER] soft key is pressed after

moving the cursor on the sub program call command, this

warning message is displayed at the case that the program

number specified by address ’P’ is protected.

•

“PROGRAM IS NOT FREE FIGURE”

When the [INPUT] key or the [ALTER] soft key is pressed after

moving the cursor on the sub program call command, this

warning message is displayed at the case that the program

number specified by address ’P’ doesn’t include the free figure

blocks.

•

“PROGRAM IS SELECTED FOREGROUND

When the screen changes to the main program displaying screen

after the [OK] soft key or the [CANCEL] soft key is pressed at

background editing, this warning message is displayed at the case

that the main program is already selected at foreground.

14.3

EDITING A FIXED FORM FIGURE SUBPROGRAM

When bit 1 of parameter No. 14851 is set to 1, a fixed form figure in

subprogram form can be edited directly by placing the cursor on the

subprogram call command of the main program then pressing

[ALTER].

The procedure is as follows:

<1> Place the cursor on the block of a subprogram call command

(M98P****) of the main program, then press the [ALTER] soft

key or the [INPUT] key.

<2> The window for input of fixed form figure data on the

subprogram is displayed. Enter data, then press the [ALTER]

soft key.

<3> The modified data is output to the machining program, and the

fixed form figure data input window is closed. The main

program is then displayed again.

NOTE

When the cursor is placed on a subprogram call

command of the main program, fixed form figure

drawing is not performed on the graphic window.
