13.6.1 Tool wear
All parameters and functions that are required during operation are contained in the tool wear
list.
Tools that are in use for long periods are subject to wear. You can measure this wear and
enter it in the tool wear list. The control then takes this information into account when calculating
the tool length or radius compensation. This ensures a consistent level of accuracy during
workpiece machining.
Monitoring types
You can automatically monitor the tools' working times via the workpiece count, tool life or
wear.
In addition, you can disable tools when you no longer wish to use them.
Note
Combination of monitoring types
You have the option to activate the monitoring of a tool by type or any combination of monitoring
types.
