Hello,

I have a Doosan DNM5700 VMC with a Fanuc 0i-M contorl. I bought the tool life monitoring option when I bought the machine. I am using the machine to machine bronze castings with large form tools. The castings will be loaded with my UR robot. The goal is to have the TLM system monitor the spindle load of the form tools and be able to switch tools out when the load is to high, in order to keep tolerance when the machine is running unmanned.

I have the TLM system up and running giving me warn and breakage alarms but I can't figure out how to change to a new tool when given that alarm automatically.

How can I drive a tool change with a warn or broken tool alarm from the Tool Load Monitoring system?

Also, when the alarm is initiated right now you have to enter the TLM screen and manually clear the alarm. Any ideas on how to clear these automatically as well?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
