Set the maximum number of punches for each tool, on the tool registration
screen. When the number of executed punches for the selected tool
exceeds the maximum number of punches for that tool, the tool life
reached signal PTLCH is output. This signal is used to issue an alarm on
the PMC or request the operator to change the tool.
The number of executed punches and maximum number of punches can
be set and displayed by using the [TOOL] soft key on the
<OFFSET/SETTING> screen, and the [TOOL LIFE] screen.
This function makes the area used for registering tool numbers, tool
position compensation, punch count, and other tool data available to the
user. This enables the user to customize the registered tool data. This
allows the conventional tool data setting method to be changed and the
number of tools that can be registered to be increased considerably.
The number of usable tools are depended on machine tool builder.
Refer to the manual of the machine tool builder.
A memory area consisting of 16KB (16 1024 bytes) is provided for the
