3.5 Tool Life Management II
I-102
Refer to "3 (II). Tool Offset (M system)" for M system.
2) Registering a group
Register a group by setting # ( G) DATA (group No. to be registered) (FORM) (LIFE).
• Designate a group No. from 1 to 9999.
• Set FORM with for group life management by either time or count.
0: Time 1: Count
If the FORM setting is omitted, the method becomes "0" (time).
• Set LIFE with the service life setting value for that group's tools. (0 to 999999).
If the LIFE setting is omitted, the life setting value becomes "0".
(Note 1) The FORM and LIFE setting values can only be changed for a group being displayed.
This is to prevent mistaken settings. The setting is made with # ( G) DATA ( ) (FORM)
(LIFE).
(Only FORM and LIFE setting values can be changed.)
(Note 2) FORM and LIFE data is common data within that group. To suppress the LIFE value of a
specific tool, adjust by setting the offset value for the USED data. In this case, ST will be
set to 1 (current tool), and the following new tool selection signal will not be output at tool
selection.
(Note 3) The USED data will be incremented when the LIFE data is 0, but no judgment will be
made when the service life count is reached.
3) Deleting a group registration
The group being displayed and its data can be deleted by pressing

keys.
4) Registering tools
Set the tools in order from the first tool to be used. If multiple compensation Nos. are used with one
tool, set the tool No. and respective compensation Nos. for each compensation No.
• Tool No. : Set the tool No. (1 to 999999: differs according to the specifications)
• Compensation No. : Set the compensation No. (1 to 80: differs according to the
specifications)
• USED : When the designated tool is other than a not-used tool, the initial
incrementation value can be adjusted by setting the USED data.
If no data is set, this value becomes 0. (Can be omitted.)
• ST : Designate whether the tool is a tool skip tool or not. (Can be omitted.)
If the data is not set, or if 0 to 2 is set, the data will be automatically set
according to the relation with the USED data and LIFE data.
0: Not used tool 1: Current tool (tool being used)
2: Normal life-reached tool 3: Tool skip tool
(Example) Setting to use multiple compensation Nos. with one tool.
# Tool No. Compensation No.
1 520000 11 ..... Equivalent to a T52000011 command.
2 520000 12 ..... Equivalent to a T52000012 command.
3 520000 13 ..... Equivalent to a T52000013 command.
(Note) Tool life management is carried out in group units with this function. Thus, if a tool is set in a
different group, the life will be managed according to the respective group, and that tool
cannot be managed correctly.
5) Deleting a tool registration
Set 0 in the tool No. of the # No. to be deleted. All data of that # No. will be deleted, and the
subsequent # Nos. and data will all move up a line.
6) Clearing a tool’s USED data
Setting up the following can clear the USED data:
0 is set in the USED data of each tool.
Put “-“ in front of the # number of tool, and set that number with “-“ in # ( ).
When the USED data of the all registration tools of 1 group are cleared, -99 is set in #( ).
