TOOL MANAGEMENT EXTENSION FUNCTION 

 

Overview 

The following functions have been added to the tool management 
function: 
1.  Customization of tool management data display 
2.  Setting of spindle position/standby position display 
3.  Input of customize data with the decimal point 
4.  Protection of various tool information items with the KEY signal 
5.  Selection of a tool life count period 
6.  Each tool data screen 
7.  Total life time display for tools of the same type 
They will be explained in detail below. 
 

10.3.1 

Customization of Tool Management Data Display 

 
With the tool management data screen display customization function, 
the display positions of screen elements (type number, tool 
information, life counter, and so forth) on the tool management screen 
can be changed and whether to display or hide such screen elements 
can be chosen using the G10 format.  This function enables a 
customized tool management screen to be configured. 
 

Format 

G10L77P3; 
N_ R_; 
G11; 

N_: Tool management data screen display position number
R_: Tool management data display item 

 

Explanation 
 - number (N_) 

•

 

A display position number represents an ordinal number from the 
leftmost position on the tool management data screen. 

•

 

As N, a number from 1 to 200 can be specified. 

 

  - Tool management data display item (R_) 

•

 

For a value to be set (in R_), see the table below. 

•

 

For actual setting, consider a display width plus 1.
