 Introduction
Doosan Tool Monitoring for Machining Center’s (DTMM) helps protect Tool’s and Tool
Holder’s from further damage should the tool break during machine operation. If DTMM
detects an abnormal load during the cutting process the machine will stop immediately.
When used in conjunction with Tool Life Management (TLM) cutting parameters can be
set so that when ‘Tool Wear’ is detected the control will select the next tool from the TLM
library and continue machining. This allows for continuous unattended machining.

Pressing the ‘CUSTOM’ hard

key will display the above page.

Pressing the ‘T-MONI’ soft key will display

the ‘Tool Load Monitoring’ Screen.

 Main Page Description

Displays program number and current block number.

Displays current Tool’s cutting parameters.

Displays the RPM, Air cut time and Maximum loads detected
during the cut for the spindle.
(Spindle speed is only set when using geared head machine’s).

Displays the X and Y maximum loads

detected during the cut .

 Tool Parameter (PARA)

When the ‘PARA’ soft key is pressed the following page is displayed.

This page is used to setup all tool information.

5
 Tool Load ‘LOAD’

When the ‘LOAD’ soft key is pressed the following page is displayed.

This page display’s all axis load’s as the program is running.

 Tool Alarm ‘ALRM’

When the ‘ALARM’ soft key is pressed the following page is displayed.

When a Tool is either warn or broken an asterisk's (*) appears next

to the tool and the information is displayed on the Alarm page.

 HELP
There are three pages of information to help for Basic Operation,
Measure Tool Load Data and Detection Parameters.

 Parameter’s

Parameters for Tool ‘Warn Alarm’ and Tool ‘Break Alarm’ are set at 10% and 15%
respectively. It is possible to change these setting’s should the need arise.

 Setting Values
To run DTMM you first have to run Auto set.

Before using the ‘AUTO’ set make sure that your program is setup and running
correctly.
Make sure that ‘AUTO’ is pressed and then run your program as normal.
Once the program has been completed all high and low value's detected will be set.
Alternately if you only want to set certain tools, then turn ‘AUTO’ on and off when the
tool you want to set is in the spindle.

 Running ‘Tool Load Monitoring’

There are two way’s to run DTMM once all the parameters have been set.

If you want to run ‘DTMM” on every tool then press ‘ON’ before starting the
program.

Alternately if you only want to run on certain tools then you can turn it on
using M201 in your program. When you have finished use M200 to turn it off.

Example.
O1066 (DEMO)
N1G0G90G80G40G17
N2G91G28Y0Z0
N3T1M6
N4 (.75 DIA. ENDMILL )
M201 - - - - - - - - - (Turns ON ‘Tool Monitoring’)
N5G0G54G90X-2.25Y.625S8000M3
N6G43Z.1H1T2
N7G1Z-1.F25.
N8G3X-2.Y.375I.25
N9G1X-.5
N10G2X.375Y-.5J-.875
N11G1Y-3.5
N12G2X-.5Y-4.375I-.875

M200- - - - - - - - -(Turns OFF ‘Tool Monitoring’)
N77G91G28Y0.Z0.M5
N78G90
N79M30

The ‘ON’ button must be pressed even when using the M201.

11
 Editing

Once the cutting data has been set using ‘AUTO’ you can manually change the
figures if required.

DTMM must be turned OFF before Editing is allowed.

Using the DOWN arrow key, high light the

tool you wish to edit. Then use the RIGHT
arrow key to high light the
MIN-MAX setting that needs changing.

12
 Tool Life Management

It is possible to run the ‘Tool Life Management’ (TLM) option in conjunction with ‘DTMM’.

Tool Life Management gives the operator the ability to change a worn tool to an-
other tool during program run without stopping the machine. Tools are classified
into groups and a tool life is set for each group in either number of times used or
length of time. When a tool exceeds the preset number of times used or time set,
then the next tool in that group is selected. Once all tools are used then an alarm is
generated to let the operator know that the tools must be changed.

Parameters.
6800 .2 (LMT) 0 (for number of times)
6810 200 Tool Ignored Number

 Tool Life Management

O0001
G10L3 (Sets Tool Life Management)
P1L15 (Sets group 1 with a tool life of 15 uses)
T1H1 (Tool # and tool length offset #)
T2H2 (Tool # and tool length offset #)
P2L15 (Sets group 2 with a tool life of 15 uses)
T3H3 (Tool # and tool length offset #)
T4H4 (Tool # and tool length offset #)
G11
M30

Before using TLM you must first set the tool groups using the
format in the above program

O1000
T201M6 (Selects 1st tool from group 1)
G0G90G54X0Y0S2000M3
G43H99Z5. ( H99 must be assigned when using TLM)
G98G81Z3. R.1F50.
G0G80Z5.
G0G91G28Z0
T202M6 (Selects 1st tool from group 2)
G0G90G54X0Y0S2000M3
G43H99Z1.( H99 must be assigned when using TLM)
G98G81Z3. R.1F50.
G0G80Z5.
G0G91Z0Y0
M30

Once both tools have been used 15 times the next tool assigned in the group
is selected.

The format of the main program should look like this.

If Tool Load Monitoring detects a warn tool, then the next time that
tool number is called in the program a new tool will be selected from
Tool Life Management.
If Tool Load Monitoring detects a broken tool the machine will stop
and no tool will be selected from Tool Life Management.
