    Need help with tool tracking

    I am trying to track the actual feed time of each tool, and store this data in a variable, or using DPRNT.

    I think this is fairly simple, but I can't seem to find much information on Tool Feed Timers #5401-#5500......

    Any thoughts?

    I guess I'll have to assume it is an older machine without the ATM? (advanced tool management...) - cause that does what you are asking for.

    I've used it a little (the atm) but with only mostly prototype runs and softer materials and only 24 tool smtc it isn't super useful...


    Otherwise, the tool table has the feed time listed for each tool. Variable #3022 is where the feed time is located.
