Example:
If it can be estimated that machining of 100 workpieces using tool of TNo. 1 causes the tool
to wear by 0.01 in its X-axial direction and 0.013 in its Z-axial direction, then set data as
follows:
Also, suppose that the WEAR COMP at that time has the following data:
WEAR COMP X 0. Z 0.
After 99 workpieces have been machined using this program, the display changes as
follows:
After one more workpiece has been machined using this program, the TOOL DATA display
further changes as follows:
WEAR COMP X 0.01 Z 0.013 #The easy compensation amount has been added.
NUMBER LIFE 100 USED 0 #Since the compensation interval value is 100, the
value 0, not 100, is displayed after 99.
Note 1: Tool life management in terms of number of machined workpieces and machining time
cannot be used together with easy wear compensation; if easy wear compensation
function is used, only life management in terms of maximum wear can be used.
Note 2: The amount of easy compensation data is not added when no data is set on the MAX
WEAR item.
CONS.COMP X 0.01 Z
Also, suppose that the display at that time has the following data.
WEAR COMP X 0. Z 0.
Assume that the measured diameter of the workpiece falls within the compensation area.
Also, assume that the difference from the target value is 0.013. Since 0.01 has been set in
CONS. COMP, WEAR COMP is incremented by 0.01. Data is therefore displayed as
follows:

7-1-6 Tool setting measurement
Storing data related to the positional relationship between the nose of each turret-mounted tool
and the reference workpiece zero-point into the NC unit is referred to as “tool-setting”.
The tool-setting data TOOL SET X and TOOL SET Z refers to the distance from the tool nose to
the reference workpiece zero-point while the X- and Z-axis stay at the machine zero-point.
The actual distance from the noze of the tool to the reference workpiece zero-point must be
measured for setting TOOL SET data on the TOOL DATA display. Tool setting measurement
can be made with the TEACH method, the manual measurement method or the MDI measure-
ment method. Here, the operating procedure for manual tool-length measurement using the
[LENGTH TEACH] function of the TOOL DATA display is described. For tool measurement in
the MDI mode, see the Operating Manual for the machine.
+X
Reference workpiece
+Z
Once tool-setting data has been input, the tool nose can always be located correctly at the
programmed position simply by setting the distance from the reference workpiece zero-point to
the program zero-point (Z-offset) for each workpiece you are going to machine.
To execute automatic operation, tool-setting data must be input for all tools you are going to use.

Example 1: If tool-setting data measurement has been performed for a tool such as that
shown below:
X
d/2
Z
In the Z-axis direction, the reference point of the tool nose will be measured directly. In the
X-axis direction, however, the position that is offset through “d” (d/2 × 2: diameter value) in a
plus direction from the reference point of the tool nose will be measured.
Therefore, if the value of TOOL SET X which has been measured during tool-setting data
measurement is “a”, then the correct value of TOOL SET X will be “a – d”.

In the X-axis direction, the reference point of the tool nose will be measured directly. In the
Z-axis direction, however, the position that is offset through “d/2” in a plus direction from the
reference point of the tool nose will be measured.
Therefore, if the value of TOOL SET Z which has been measured during tool-setting data
measurement is “b”, then the correct value of TOOL SET Z will be “b – d/2”.

If the values of TOOL SET X and TOOL SET Z which have been measured during tool-
setting data measurement are “a” and “b”, respectively, then correction data for the tool with
a diameter value “d” can be represented as shown above according to the measuring
direction.
How to correct tool-setting data
Tool-setting data can be more easily corrected by using the INCREMENT INPUT function in
the following order:
1) Place the cursor on the data to be corrected.
2) Press the [INCRMENT INPUT] menu key.
3) Set addition data (–d/2, +d/2, –d, +d) to the data to be corrected.
Note 1: During manual interruption in the automatic operation mode, the tool-setting data
measurement using a TOOL EYE must not be executed. When such an operation is
executed, the coordinate system cannot be guaranteed for the restarted automatic
operation.

the type of tool data being used. Time data on all turning tools of the same tool number
and the same index angle, is counted, irrespective of whether the tools are for face-
machining or back-machining.
Time data on all the turning tools of the same tool number that were used as milling
tools, is counted, irrespective of whether the tools are for face-machining or back-

when multiple tips are to be used for a milling tool, the change for a spare tool is
conducted if even one of the tips to be used has already arrived at its life.
1: Among all tools having the same tool number, when even one tip of the FLASH-tool
exists whose total operation time is already in excess of a predetermined life, the
FLASH-tool is judged to have reached its life and is therefore changed for a spare.
