Automatically Switching Out the Worn Milling Bur (Intelligent Tool Control)

During milling, the milling bur wears out and may need to be replaced. If you want to have the worn milling bur switched out automatically during milling, use Intelligent Tool Control (ITC).

ITC is a function that automatically replaces milling burs that reach their replacement time during use with the next milling bur. This makes it possible to continue milling for a long time without any loss in milling quality.

Use the Milling bur management window to set the combinations of milling burs that will be switched automatically. Register multiple milling burs with the same name to set them as a single unit.

You can set the same name to up to three milling burs.

Procedure
  1. Open the Milling bur management window.
    1. In the top window of VPanel, select the machine to operate.

  2. Set the milling burs that you want to use ITC to switch between automatically into two or three milling bur stocker locations.

    Milling burs with the same name are set as a single unit. When the milling bur reaches its replacement time during milling, it is automatically switched with the next milling bur.
