Tool loading <LOADTL>
<LOADTL> command loads tool of the specified in the first parameter number. Use <LOADTL> command to form NC-program block that move the tooling turret or select the tool from the tool magazine. Also this command is used to form NC-program frames that move the tool to the safe tool changing position.
Command:
LOADTL N n, Tool changed 1, X x, Y y, Z z, D d, M m, K k, L l, P p, A a, R r, H h, RC rc,

n |
CLD[1] |
CLD.N |
Tool number |
|
x, y, z |
CLD[2], CLD[3], CLD[4] |
CLD.X CLD.Y CLD.Z |
Tool offset along axes X, Y, Z relative to tool fixing point (flange coordinate system). |
|
d |

CLD[7] |
CLD.K |
Radius corrector number. If the tooling point is the tool end then K < 0. |

CLD[9] |
CLD.P |
Tool width. |
|
a |

CLD[14] |
|
Tool plane. A plane normal to the tool axis for axial tool. Machining plane for the lathe tool. 33 – XY, 37 – YZ, 41 – XZ, 133 – YX, 137 – ZY, 141 – ZX. |

CLD.HID |
Tool holder block id (number) |
|
nx |
CLD[19] |
CLD.NX |
The values that define orientation of the tool relative to the anchor point (the flange coordinate system). Depending on the system settings (defined in the machine schema) they can be either rotation angles around the coordinate axes X, Y and Z in degrees (Euler angles A = NX, B = NY, C = NZ), either the coefficients of the quaternion q = (NX, NY, NZ, NW). |

Parameters available through the Cmd operator
|
TCLDLoadTool: ComplexType |
Tool loading command |
|
|
ToolChanged: bool (integer) |
Cmd.Int["ToolChanged"] - ToolChanged is a flag that determines whether a tool change is made at this location relative to the previous operation. If it has a value of 1 (true), it means that the tool in this operation is different from the tool in the previous operation. If the flag has a value of 0 (false), it means that the tools in the current and previous operations are the same and there is no tool change.
"Skip LoadTL if no tool change" option in the settings window depend on this flag and postprocessor can skip LoadTL procedure calling. |

ToolID: Integer |
Cmd.Int["ToolID"] - Tool identifier (number) |
|
|
RadCorrNum: Integer |
Cmd.Int["RadCorrNum"] - Radius corrector number |
|
|
LenCorrNum: Integer |
Cmd.Int["LenCorrNum"] - Length corrector number |
|
|
HolderID: Integer |
Cmd.Int["HolderID"] - Tool holder identifier (number) |
|
|
RevolverID: String |
Cmd.Str["RevolverID"] - String identifier of the turret head |
