Tool
Select a tool
A tool is selected in the program with the T function. Whether the new tool is immediately
loaded with the T function or with M6 depends on the setting in MD22550
TOOL_CHANGE_MODE (new tool offset with M function).
Value range of T
The T function can assume integer values from T0 (no tool) to T32000 (tool with the number
32000).
The following is the maximum that can be stored simultaneously in the control system:
●
SINUMERIK 802D sl value: 32 tools
●
SINUMERIK 802D sl plus: 64 tools
●
SINUMERIK 802D sl pro: 128 tools.

Tool offset
Tool compensation through D function
A tool can have up to nine cutting edges. The nine tool cutting edges are assigned to the D
functions D1 to D9.
The following maximum values for tool compensation blocks can be stored simultaneously in
the control system:
●
SINUMERIK 802D sl value: 32 data fields (D numbers)
●
SINUMERIK 802D sl plus: 64 data fields (D numbers)
●
SINUMERIK 802D sl pro: 128 data fields (D numbers)
The tool cutting edge is programmed with D1 (edge 1) to D9 (edge 9). The tool cutting edge
always refers to the currently active tool. An active tool cutting edge (D1 to D9) without an
active tool (T0) is inactive. Tool cutting edge D0 deselects all tool offsets of the active tool.
Selection of the cutting edge when changing tool
When a new tool (new T number) has been programmed and the old one replaced, the
following options are available for selecting the cutting edge:
●
The cutting edge number is programmed
●
The cutting edge number is not programmed D1 is active automatically.
