Defining the cycle data
The following data must be defined. Not all the data will always be available; the cycle will show the
necessary data according to the chosen operation.
• Safety distance (Ds) for probe approach.
• Probing feedrate (F).
• Icon to set the Y axis direction.
• Type of operation:
The cycle allows doing a measurement or a calibration. To select the desired operation, place
the cursor in the "Measurement / Calibration" field and press the two-color key. To take a
measurement, define the following data.
Imax Maximum tool length wear measurement along the X axis.
Kmax Maximum tool length wear measurement along the Z axis.
Jmax Maximum tool length wear measurement along the Y axis.
Stop / Chg Cycle behavior when exceeding the maximum wear permitted. Use the two-color
key to select one of them.
The "Stop" option interrupts the execution for the user to select another tool. With
the "Chg" option, the cycle replaces the tool with another one of the same family.
Measuring is only available when purchasing the software option: "Tool life monitoring".
• Probe position.
In this zone, one must indicate whether the cycle assumes the probe position defined in the
machine parameters or the position defined in this zone. To select one of them, use the cursor
to select the "Machine parameters / Programmable parameters" field and press the two-color
key.
Machine parameters: The cycle assumes the probe position defined in the machine
parameters.
Programmed parameters: The cycle assumes the probe position defined in the cycle (Xmax,
Xmin, Ymax, Ymin, Zmax, Zmin).
Actions after completing the tool wear measuring cycle
To activate the rejected tool, either because it has been replaced with another one or because it
will be used to keep working, the following options will be offered:
1. Go into the tool table in ISO mode and delete the actual (real) life of that tool.
2. Go into the tool table in ISO mode and write the desired value for the actual (real) life of that tool.
In this case, activating the tool requires the real life to be smaller than the nominal (rated) life
value. Otherwise, the tool will appear as expired (worn out) (status = E).
