Example 20.7
Assume your system installer has set the following constraints in AMP:
- the tool group boundary is set as 100
- the T-word format is configured as 2-digit geometry and wear (see
section 20.1)
- the maximum allowable T-word is configured as a 5-digit number
To use tool management program for these constraints:
Ttttoo;
Where : Is :
Tttt ---- the groupnumber (if greater thanthe groupboundary)
---- a tool number(if less thanthe groupboundary)
oo the placeholder for thetool offset number
Table 20.B
Result of Different T-words for Example 20.7
T-word Result
T12;
Since tool number is belowboundary andtwo digitsare necessaryfor offset with
this T-word format, notool isprogrammed here. Instead toolgeometry andtool
wear offset number 12 isselected.
T1201;
Tool 12and geometryand wearoffset number1 is selected. Tool lifemanagement
is not usedbecause toolnumber 12is below thegroup boundaryof 100.
T10100;
The first available tool assignedto group1 isselected along with the offset numbers
assigned to that tool inthe toolmanagement table.
T10201;
The first available tool assignedto group2 isselected along with the offset numbers
assigned to that tool inthe toolmanagement table. The geometry andwear offset
number of 01programmed hereis ignored.
T123456;
Error occursbecause maximum allowableT-word of 5digits hasbeen exceeded.
