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 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 the 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).

Explanation of abbreviations used in the graphic:
 Task: Machining mode
 WS: Workpiece material
 SS: Cutting material
Remember when deleting workpiece material or cutting
material designations:
 This also deletes the associated cutting data.
 The MANUALplus 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.
