Operation Manual

HEIDENHAIN CNC PILOT 640 537
7.4 Technology database
Technology editor
The technology editor can be called from the Tool Editor and
smart.Turn operating modes.
Database access of the following combinations are supported:
 Work material/operating mode combinations (blue)
 Cutting material/operating-mode combinations (red)
 Work-material/tool-material combinations (green)
Editing workpiece and cutting material designations: The
technology editor keeps one list each with workpiece material
designations and cutting material designations. You have the following
options:
 Insert new workpiece/cutting materials.
 Do not change the workpiece material or cutting material
designations.
 Delete existing workpiece/cutting material designations. This also
deletes the associated cutting data.
Editing cutting data: The cutting data of a workpiece material/cutting
material combination are called a "data record". You have the following
options:
 Assign cutting data to a workpiece material/cutting material
combination to create a data record.
 Delete the cutting data of a workpiece material/cutting material
combination (a data record).
Call the technology editor in the tool editor operating modes:
 Press the "Other tables" soft key

Explanation of abbreviations used in the graphic:
 Task: Machining operation
 WS: Workpiece material
 SS: Cutting material
Remember when deleting workpiece material or cutting
material designations:
 This also deletes the associated cutting data.
 The CNC PILOT cannot determine any cutting data for
the affected programs or tools. The reason:
 The workpiece material designations are saved in the
program header of the smart.Turn programs.
 Cutting material designations are saved together with
the tool data.
