Tool editor
Editing the tool data
The tool data are edited in three dialog boxes. The parameters of the
first two dialog boxes depend on the tool type. The third dialog box
serves for multitool management and tool life management. Edit the
third dialog box "as required."
The tool parameters include:
„ Fundamental data
„ Information on tool depiction (simulation/control graphics)
„ Information for TURN PLUS (tool selection, automatic working plan
generation)
The data can be omitted provided that you do not use TURN PLUS, or
do not wish tools to be depicted.
Call the tool editor:
U Select “Tool” in the Parameter mode.
Tools that do not fit into any of the standard tool type
groups are assigned to special turning/drilling/milling tools.
They are not used for contour cycles and are not used by
TURN PLUS..
