Tool database


tool database

The interface is divided into three sections:

  • Tool List: Displays the tool name, color, and station number where the tool is mounted. Use the ‘Add’, ‘Remove’, or ‘Copy’ commands to manage the tool list. Additionally, ‘Set Position’ buttons are available to quickly mount the selected tool in a station defined in the current NC file. Use ‘Set Position X’ to remove any assigned station number.
  • Tool Settings: Allows configuration of all parameters for the tool selected in the tool list.
  • Tool Geometry Representation: Shows a visual representation of the tool’s geometry.
