Driven tools
Driven tools are defined in the tool description
The driven tool can be operated with feed per revolution if the
tool spindle drive is equipped with a rotary encoder
If driven tools are used at a constant cutting speed, the spindle
speed is calculated from the tool diameter
Tools in different quadrants
Example
The principal tool carrier of your lathe is in front of the workpiece
(standard quadrant). An additional tool holder is behind the
workpiece.
When the control is configured, it is defined for each tool holder
whether the X dimensions and the direction of rotation of circular
arcs are mirrored. In the above-mentioned example the additional
tool holder is assigned the attribute
mirrored .
If this method is used, all machining operations are programmed
as usual —regardless of which tool holder executes the operation.
The Simulation submode also shows all machining operations in
the standard quadrant .
The tools are also described and dimensioned for the
standard
quadrant
—even if they are inserted in the additional tool holder.
Mirroring does not become effective until the machining of the
workpiece, i.e. when the additional tool holder is executing the
machining operation.
