9.2.2 Entering the NC machine data for tool management
Machine data for
memory setting
Example
Machine data for the memory setting and activation of the management function
must be set.
Memory space must be made available in the battery-backed RAM for the tool
management.
The following machine data must be set:
MD 18080 Activate the memory for tool management
MD 18082 Number of tools to be managed by the NCK
MD 18084 Number of magazines the NCK can manage (min. 3)
Include the buffer and loading magazines!
MD 18086 Number of magazine locations that the NCK can manage;
Include 3 buffer locations (2 grippers and 1 spindle) and
2 load points!
MD 18100 Number of cutting edges in the NCK
Note
ShopMill manages 2 cutting edges per tool. It is therefore expedient to limit the
number of edges to 2. Program the number of edges in MD 18105
MM_MAX_CUTTING_EDGE_NO.
Allocation of machine data when a dual gripper is used so that manual tools can
be used event when the magazine is fully allocated:
18082=40; 40 tools (30 magazine locations + 10 additional locations for
manual tools)
18084=3; 1 magazine + 1 buffer magazine + 1 load magazines
18086=35; 30 magazine slots + 3 buffer memory + 2 load points
18100=80; 80 edges
Note
The machine data settings serve only to reserve memory; locations are not
assigned to the magazine, etc. until the configuration file is set up and loaded
(see Subsection 9.2.4 “Creating and loading the configuration file”).
Modifying the “memory-influencing” machine data reformats the battery-backed
RAM. The data must therefore be backed up beforehand.
