How do I flag a tool number in the program so that it will count in Table A of the tool wear page labeled( number of work pieces)? Do I need to replace the T0202 With something else? Any Ideas are welcome The manual is not much help!!
I recall using commands like TG=01 OG=01 instead of T010101 on an old LC20 OSP5000L-G to use tools assigned to Groups rather than actual physical tool numbers.
i.e. I could assign multiple tools to a specific group that I could set via the tool data pages.
I could set different ways that each tool could expire, i.e. Cut Time, Tool Wear (established via probe results), or QTY of parts machined.
TG= Tool Group
OG= Offset Group
Maybe this will help?

yes that is tool life management and would work if he has the TLM option.
That is only useful on a multi-task machine with ATC
I think we need to see a screen shot of the screen he's talking about and/or his machine model to know for sure what he wants.
