Entering tool data in tables
You can define and store up to 32 767 tools and their tool data in a tool
table (TNC 410: 254 tools). In Machine Parameter 7260, you can define
how many tools are to be stored by the TNC when a new table is set
up. See also the Editing Functions at a later stage in this Chapter. In
order to be able to assign various compensation data to a tool
(indexing tool number), machine parameter 7262 must not be equal to
0 (not TNC 410).
You must use tool tables if
n
you wish to use indexed tools such as stepped drills with more than
one length compensation value,
n
your machine tool has an automatic tool changer,
n
you want to measure tools automatically with the TT 130 touch
probe (see the new Touch Probe Cycles User's Manual, Chapter 4),
n
you want to rough-mill the contour with Cycle G122 (see “ROUGH-
OUT (Cycle G122)” on page 272),

T
Number by which the tool is called in the program (e.g. 5, indexed: 5.2) –
NAME
Name by which the tool is called in the program
Tool name?
L
Value for tool length compensation L
Tool length?
R
Compensation value for the tool radius R
Tool radius R?
R2
Tool radius R2 for toroid cutters (only for 3-D radius compensation or
graphical representation of a machining operation with spherical or
toroid cutters)
Tool radius R2?
DL
Delta value for tool radius R2
Tool length oversize?
DR
Delta value for tool radius R
Tool radius oversize R?

LCUTS
Tooth length of the tool for Cycle 22
Tooth length in the tool axis?
ANGLE
Maximum plunge angle of the tool for reciprocating plunge-cut in
Cycles 22 and 208
Maximum plunge angle?
TL
Set tool lock (TL: Tool Locked)
Tool locked?
Yes = ENT / No = NO ENT
RT
Number of a replacement tool (RT), if available (see also TIME2)
Replacement tool?
TIME1
Maximum tool life in minutes. This function can vary depending on the
individual machine tool. Your machine manual provides more
information on TIME1.
Maximum tool age?
TIME2
Maximum tool life in minutes during a tool call: If the current tool age
exceeds this value, the TNC changes the tool during the next tool call
(see also CUR.TIME).
