Causes and Fixes
- 1
Access tool table
Press MOD key, select 'Tool table' to open TOOL.T file and verify tool entries.
Use F3 search function to quickly locate tools by diameter
- 2
Check tool diameter entry
Verify column R (radius) or DL (length) contains correct tool diameter values for required tool number.
Ensure R value is radius, not diameter - TNC uses radius internally
- 3
Add missing tool entry
Insert new tool line with correct T number, R value, and tool type (column TYPE) matching program requirements.
- 4
Reload tool table
Press END key to save changes and reload tool table into TNC memory.
Call a technician if:
- ·Tool detection sensors malfunction
- ·Turret indexing problems
- ·Persistent alarm after tool table corrections
Prevention
- Maintain accurate tool table with current tool inventory
- Use tool management software for automatic updates
- Implement tool presetting procedures
- Regular verification of tool table against physical turret contents
Common Mistakes
- Confusing radius vs diameter values in tool table
- Not reloading tool table after changes
- Assuming tool presence without physical verification
- Using outdated backup tool tables
