Tool Life Management is a feature that tracks the lifetime use of a tool 
while the spindle is running and the system is in feed mode. Based on 
parameters set by the user, it verifies if a tool is valid prior to mounting 
and disables a tool once it has worn beyond its useful life. Tool Life 
Management parameters are accessed in the Tool Table. 

When a program starts running, the active tool must have its Tool Life 
Management activated so that any machining done with it can be 
tracked. If a replacement tool is specified in the (RT) column, it should 
also have Tool Life Management active.

In the Tool Table, select the tool to be managed.



Enter the maximum tool life in minutes in the “Time1” column.



Enter the maximum in use tool life in minutes in the “Time2” 
column.



If a replacement tool has been specified in the “RT” column, enter 
in the “Time1”, and “Time2” for the replacement tool also.

When a tool’s usage limits have been exceeded, the tool is locked. If 
a replacement tool (“RT”) has not been specified, “Time1” or 
“Time2” will cause the program to stop.  An error message will 
appear.
