7.4 Tool Data
Tool orientation
From the tool orientation, MANUALplus determines the position of
the tool tip and, depending on the selected tool type, additional
information such as the setting-angle direction, reference-point
position, etc. This information is necessary, for example, for
calculating the cutting radius compensation, plunging angle, etc.
Reference point
The "setting dimensions X, Z" refer to the tool reference point. The
position of the reference point depends on the tool type (see graphic
support window).
Editing tool data
When you press one of the menu keys, MANUALplus displays the
associated parameter input window and a graphic support window in
which all parameters for this tool type are illustrated.
The tool data are edited in two input windows. The first input window
contains the parameters specific to this tool type, the second contains
the cutting data as well as information on the spindle rotation direction
and tool life monitoring. You only need to switch to the second input
window if you want to use this data.
„ Tool parameters whose identification letters are shown
in gray can be entered optionally. MANUALplus uses
these parameters when specific cycle parameters are
not entered, when plunging angles or feed rates need to
be calculated, etc.
„ You will find more information on the use of these
parameters in the description of the tool data and the
cycles.
