1 Brief description
Aim of the module:
In this module you learn to use the tool management with the Sinumerik Operate. You learn about
the programming philosophy of the adjustable and programmable work offset, the function of the user
variables and how to modify the working area limitation.
Description of the module:
In the tool management area all tools and magazine locations that have been created or configured
in th NC are displayed.
Here, all tool data relevant for the machining (e.g., tool length, radius correction, tool wear and
magazine configuration) can be viewed and modified.
The tool management contains the following subfunctions:
the tool list
the tool wear
the magazine management
In addition to these subfunctions a machine specific list can be configured by the machine manufac-
turer.
In the "Work offset" menu the linear and rotational zero offsets can be viewed and modified and the
total effective zero offsets are displayed, which are read only.
The working range in which a tool can proceed, can be restricted in all axes with the function
"Working area limitation".
Hereby safety zones can be installed in the workroom, where tool movement is prohibited.
This function limits the traversing area of the axes, in addition to the limit switches.
