Broken Tools
If toolbreak is detected during a job, the toolpath is suspended and the tool length is checked to confirm the break.
• If the tool break is confirmed and a suitable replacement is available in the Tool Changer, then the tool is automatically
loaded and continues with no operator intervention required.
• If the tool break is confirmed but a suitable replacement is not available in the Tool Changer, then the operator is
prompted to load a replacement tool or abort the job.
• If the tool length is found to be normal then the job continues with no operator intervention.
Restoration Inspection
If a conical tool breaks halfway instead of at the shoulder, the broken tool may not be detected right away. If the broken tool
continues to mill, it can cause damage or put black marks on the restoration.
By default, the new Restoration Inspection feature is activated.
If a tool breaks:
• The lid lights turn blue and the lid pops open
• The operator assesses the restoration and closes the lid
Once the lid is closed, a new message displays.
If the restoration has black marks or has come off of the mandrel, click No. The lid pops open. Remove the block. Select the job to
restart milling. The system will prompt you to insert a new block at the beginning of the restarted milling process.
To continue milling with a new tool, click Yes.
To deactivate this feature, contact Customer Support.
Replacing/Inserting Tools
If a needed tool is not already in the tool changer, the following message will appear.
