DESCRIPTION OF MANAGEMENT FOR EACH TOOL NUMBER (PART I) SECTION 2 DESCRIPTION OF MANAGEMENT FOR 1 EACH TOOL NUMBER Tool Offset Number ‘The too! offset numbers are normally specified in a part program as H number or D number directly, In addition, 1st offset number, 2nd offset number and 3rd offset number can be used for specification. When the tool offset data is considered to be particular to each tool, the tool offset number is determined solely corresponding to the tool to be used This concept is essential for spare tool changing. Because the tool offset number of a spare tool cannot be specified in a part program. (1) tt Offset Number Specity HA or DA in the part program, HA substitutes for the conventional tool length offset number DA substitutes for the conventional cuiter radius compensation number. When specifying HA or DA, H number or O number will be the same number as the tool ‘umber of the active tool (2) 2nd Offset Numbor Speciy HB or D8 in the part program, = HB substitutes for the conventional tool length offset number. + DB substitutes for the conventional cutter radius compensation number. ‘When specifying HB or DB, the numbor of offset number 2 which has set for the tool number of the active tool will be H or D number, respectively. (3) 3rd Offset Number Specily HC of DC in the part program, HC substitutes for the conventional tool lengIh offset number. DC substitutes for the conventional cutter radius compensation number. When specifying HC or DC, the number of offset number 3 which has set for the tool number of the active tool will be H or D number, respectively. OKUMA MACHINERY WORKS LTD.9286-E 7-9 SECTION 2. DESCRIPTION OF MANAGEMENT FOR EACH TOOL NUMBER (PART 1) Example: Toolpot Number Tool Number Offset Number 2. | Offset Number 3 1 204 ant 2 202 212 In this example, the tool in the number 2 toslpot is the spare (ool for the tool in the number 1 toolpot. With the settings above, assume that commands have boon spocified as follows: G86 Ht (normal programming method) Gee HA G56 HB. ase HC The numbers selected as tool length olfset numbers are shown in the table below. H Command Tt (Commanded Tool) 72 (Spare Too!)

Group Number (optional) When the changeover to a spare tool is required, the graup number is required to be set Too! num! bers are classified into groups. If the toot whose too! number is specified by T command is found not usable due to breakage or tool life expiration, the changeover to the other available tool in the san mo group is mado. The group number must be within the range from 0 to 250. For a tool from which the changeover is indesirable or which has no spare tool, the group number must be 0. ‘The changeover from the tool in group number 0 is not performed. Tool Management Mode (optional) The processing after tool life expiration may be determined as required. The tool management mode should be set in a two-digit number with the first digit always zero (0). ‘The second digit sets the following management modes, Determination of Lile Expiration ‘Spare Tool Selection after Too!

It all the tools in the same group set in the magazine are found to be defective, the operation will be stopped with an alarm at the time the commanded tool is set to the spindle. 2. Changeover of Tool Offset Number Designation of the tool offset number can be done either by specifying H number and D number directly or by specifying the 1st offset number, 2nd offset number and the 3rd offset number. Using the former method, only one offset number is available for the tools in the same group when the changeover to the spare tool is made. Using the latter method, up to three offset numbers are available even when the changeover to the spare tool is made. ‘Command in Part | When the Tool Specified by T Command | _ When the Spare Tool Program (the Commanded Tool is Used is Used Di - D3G0 Hi - H300 | Offsst number specified in pan program | Tet offset number of spare tool DA HA | ist offsot number of commanded toot | 1st offset number of spare tool dB. 2nd offset number of commanded tool 2nd offset number of spare tool be HC | Srd offset number of commanded tool | 3rd offset number of spare toot Note: Tools in the same group will be selected in the following order; 1) When started from the initial condition (when ORGISPR is not designated) a) The tool commanded by the part program ) If too! noted in a) is not usable, the first usable tool found in a tool number search beginning with tool 1 and conducted in ascending order 2) When a too! was selected before (when ORGISPR is designated) a) The tool which has been selected b) If the too! of a) is not usable, the foo! commanded by the part program ¢) IF 00! noted in b) is not usable, the first usable foo! found in a tool number search beginning with too!

When the cause of the dofect is removed or the tool is changed, enter the data OK, Other tool management data should also be rewritton, as neodod. Even if there are more than one causes for the defect, only ono cause is shown on tho CAT. Thus, when removing the cause displayed and entering the data “OK”, the other cause will be shown on the CRT and the data remains “NG* Only after all the causes are removed, “OK” is shown on the CRT. Precautions in resetting NG data for each cause are as follows: (1) Tool Life (LIFE) When the lower digit of the TOOL MANAGEMENT mode data is 1 or 4 and the LEFT TIME is negative, the tool defect data will be “NG2*. LIFE is displayed as the cause on the CRT. Change the tool with new one and rewrite the too! life data, and then rewrite the OKING data to “OK”. To use the current tool for a while, modify the tool management mode dala or rewrite the LEFT TIME data to be positive, and then rewrite the OKING data to “OK”. (2) Tool Breakage (found by the automatic tool breakage detection function) (BREAK) When the too! breakage is found by the automatic tool breakage detection function, the OKING. data will be sel as "NG2”. BREAK is displayed as the cause. Change the defective tool with new one and then rewrite the OKING data to “OK”. (8) Overload (found by MOP) (OVLOAD) When the MOP sends the overload alarm signal, the OKING data will be “NG3" and the NC will stop. OVLOAD is displayed as the cause on the CRT. When the NC RESET button is pressed, "NG3” will change to *NG2". Examine the cause of overload and take the required measures such as replacement of the tool, and then rowrite the OKING data to “OK" (4) Tool Wear (found by MOP) (WEAR) When the MOP sends the tool wear alarm signal, the OKING data wil be "NG2". WEAR is displayed as the cause on the CRT Examine the causes of the defect and take the required measures such as roplacoment of the tool, and then rewrite the OK/NG data to “OK” (6) User (udgement by operator) (USER) When “NG” is entered as the OK/NG data from the operation panel, the OKING data will be “NG2".

The total cutting time or counted number is compared with the preset tool lite or the count number to determine the serviceability of specific cutting tools. For a Cutting tool whose service life has expired, the control checks whothor a spare tool has been registered for it and if $0, the spare tool is automaticaly selected when the lifo-expired tool is next specified. In case no spare tool is availabe, the cycle stops with alarm cisplay.

The specifications for this system are divided into the following two types: (1) Specifications for automatic tool length offset only, and (2) Specifications for automatic tool length offset and automatic too! breakage detection In this system, these functions can be realized by contact of the touch sensor installed in the machine with the tool loaded in the spindle. For tools which are mounted and removed without using the ATC, refer to Part 1, Section 6, *Management of Tools for Which ATC is Not Used”. 1 Automatic Too! Length Offset When carrying out automatic tool length offset, call the subprogram, and bring the tool in the spindle into contact with the touch sensor. 2. Automatic Tool Breakage Detection In the same operation carried out in the case of automatic tool length offset, the fength of the tool sot in the spindle is calculated. Then that value is compared to the tool length offset value stored in the NC memory to detect the breakage of the tool. When tool breakage is detected, the broken tool can be replaced with a spare tool.

For MCM, it is necessary to execute the zero point setting cycle for the horizontal tool touch sensor. The sensor 7010 point is set at zero offset No. 51 (Z-axis sensor) and zero offset No. 64 (Y axis sensor). Zero offset Nos. 51 and 64 are exclusive to automatization specifications and can neither be set by the parameter settings nor roforenced to. Zoro offset Nos. 51 and 64 can only be roferenced to on the check display. When setting PGO=2 in the caso of MC-V and double-colurmn machining centers, make absolutely sure that the toot change position setting eycle has boon executed. The tool change position for automatic too! breakage detection cycle is sat at zero offset No. 52. Zero offset No. 52 is exclusive to automatization specications and can neither be set by the parameter settings no: referenced to. An emergency stop limit switch is built into the system for protection of the touch sensors. When a sensor has been pushed in more than required, axis is brought to a stop. At this time, the emergency stop limit indicating lamp lights up; it is observed by opening the cover of the tape reader. To release the emergency stop condition, select MANUAL mode while pressing the emergency stop limit release bution, and feed the axis by the pulse handle in the direction to release the limit switch, Do not call out the automatic tool length offset or automatic tool breakage detection subprograms while tho shift amount in the manual interruption operation is remained or while the machine is still in the mirror image mode.

The touch probe to be used has a shank the same shape as conventional cutting tools. ‘This touch probe is sot in the spindle, then it Is brought into contact with the measuring plane of the ‘workpiece, and the workpiece dimensions are automatically measured by calculating the position of the workpiece (at time of contact with the probe) in relation to the machine coordinate system values stored in the NC memory. The results of this measurement are then displayed on the CRT, and the NC program judges whether these results are acceptable or not. In addition, an output function for transferring the measurement results to a printer is available as an option Based on the measurement results, the zero point can be offset to the requirad position in relation to the work coordinate system, This operation is executed by the subprogram supplied by our ‘company, ‘The specification for this system are divided into the following two types: (1) Specification tor dimerision check (2) Specification for automatic zero offset (including dimonsion check) 1 Dimension Check ‘The following four gauging patterns are availablo: (1) Inside Diametor Measurement objective : The center position of the inside diameter of the workpiece and its diameter are automatically measured.

In this section, a more deiailed explanation of the touch probe movements is given taking gauging cycle for inside diameter as an example, ‘Tha solid ines represent a cutting feadrate. ‘The broken lines represent a rapid feedrate. The touch probe movements for measurement are shown as (1) through (6) in the diagram. Each of the movements (1) through (6) may be regarded as a single gauging cycle on end face.

This position is position B. If PUDT is not set when subprograrn 0010 is called, PUDT is automatically set as 10 mm, When position A is already close to the anticipated position of the end face to be moasured ‘rom position B, then movement (4) is omitted and movement (5) is carried out, ‘The touch probe advances at a rapid approach speed to position B. At this time, when the shift amount between the actual position and the anticipated position of the end face to be measured is great, or when it has come into contact with the end face to be measured while advancing to postion B, then a gauging impossiblo alarm occurs. When the gauging impossible alarm has occurred, the touch probe returns to position A at a rapid feedrate and comes to a stop. If the touch probe stops during advancing due to signal reception error (for FM type touch probe}, it returns to position A at a rapid feedrate and then advances toward position B once again. fit stops again during this second advancing due to signal reception error, it returns to position A al 2 rapid feedrate and a gauging impossible alarm occurs. The position beyond the anticipated position of the end face to be measured for the amount displayed by POVT is calculated. This position is position C. When POVT is not set when subprogram 0010 is called, POVT is automatically set as 40 mm, The touch probe advances at a rapid approach speed to position C. When the touch probe has come into contact with the end face to be measured while it is advancing to position C, it stops at that position. Al this time, when the touch probe has not come into contact with the end face to be measured even if the touch probe has advanced to position C, then in this case too a gauging impossibie alarm occurs. When the gauging impossible alarm has occurred, the touch probe returns to position A and comes to a stop. I the touch probe stops during advancing due to signal reception error (for FM type touch probe), it returns to position 8 at a rapid feedrate and then advances toward position G once again, It it stops again during this second advancing duo to signal reception error, it returns to position C at a rapid feedrate and a gauging impossible alarm occurs. The touch probe returns at a rapid feedrate to a position 0.5 mm in front of the position where it camo into contact with the end face to be measured. ‘The touch probe advances at a slow approach speed to a position 1 mm beyond the position where it came into contact with the end face to be measured. When the touch probe comes into contact with the end face to be measured again while it is advancing, thon it comes to a stop. If the touch probe stops during advancing due to signal reception error (for FM type touch probe), it returns © position as indicated in step (7) al a rapid feedrate and then advances toward the end face to be measured once again. If it siops again during this second advancing due to signal reception ertor, it rotums to position A at a rapid feedrate and a gauging impossible alarm occurs ‘The touch probe returns to position A.

Therefore, the actual position of the tip of the touch probe is 0.1 - 0.2 mm beyond the position where it has come into contact with the end face to be measured. When the gauging cycle has been completed, the touch probe comes to a stop at the center of the hole for which measurement was carried out in the case of inside and outside diameter gauging cycles.
