Notes during tool import and CNC file creation

As of program version 11.4.39.98, the tool data is checked for integrity. This increases the security when creating CNC files.

Note:
For users of CNC formats with active tool assignment, note messages may appear as a result during work preparation and when creating CNC files.

The following attributes regarding tools are now checked for validity:

The shaft length belonging to the shaft diameter must be available.
The toolholder length belonging to the toolholder diameter must be available.
The cutting-edge length of a countersink must be half of the entered countersink width.

The following settings are checked:

For disc milling cutters and saw blades, further notes may be provided if

In these cases, the values must also be adjusted.

Note:
The shaft length cannot be entered manually. It is calculated as follows:

The difference between the cutter length and the toolholder lengths in relation to the total length is the calculated shaft length.

(Shaft length = total length – cutter length – toolholder lengths).

Other types of tools (screwdrivers, taps, etc.) are also checked accordingly.

For Emmegi, a shaft diameter must be entered:

This makes it necessary to shorten the toolholder length in order to get a positive shaft length of at least 0.1mm.

Example:

Toolholder length + cutter length = tool length
10mm + 4.50mm = 150.60mm
This determines an "incorrect" shaft length of 0.0mm.
Instead, the toolholder length must be changed from 146.10mm to 146.00mm:
00 + 4.50mm = 150.50mm
60mm – 150.50mm = 0.1mm (positive shaft length)
With these values, a shaft length of 0.1mm is automatically determined when importing the tools. A note regarding an incomplete shaft no longer appears.

A disc milling cutter has no further shaft length:

The total length of the tool (T) must be equal to the cutting length (L): T = L

For this reason, no shaft diameter may be entered for the disc milling cutter. Set the shaft diameter "S" to 0.00mm.
