6.18 Machining Information
Tool selection, turret assignment
The tool selection is determined by:
„ Machining direction
„ Contour to be machined
„ Machining sequence
If the ideal tool is not available, TURN PLUS
„ First looks for a replacement tool,
„ Then for an emergency tool.
If necessary, TURN PLUS adapts the machining cycle to the
requirements of the replacement or emergency tool. If more than one
tool is suitable for a machining operation, TURN PLUS uses the
optimal tool.
TURN PLUS uses combination tools for drilling operations in which
drilling combinations are defined.
TURN PLUS supports multipoint tools if they are entered in the turret
list and if “From turret list” or “Combined” is defined as selection
method (machining parameter 2 – WD=1 or WD=2).
Automatic turret assignment: The tool location is selected
according to the “Mount type” and “Preferred tool” parameters (MP
511, ...). These parameters are used to determine whether a driven
tool is supported and whether to locate primarily external/internal tools
or drilling/milling tools.
The mount type (MP 511, ...) distinguishes between different tool
mounts (see “Explanation of tool data” on page 622).
„ The tool selection strategy is defined in machining
parameter 2.
„ TURN PLUS does not support magazine pocket
systems.
