1 Scope
This part of ISO 14649 specifies the data elements describing cutting tool data for turning machine tools
and machining centres. They work together with ISO 14649‑12, the process data for turning machine tools and machining centres. These data elements
can be used as criteria to select one of several operations; they do not describe
a complete information of a particular tool. Thus, leaving out optional attributes
gives the controller more freedom to select from a larger set of tools.
NOTE 1 The NC is assumed to have access to complete description of specific tools in a database.
The turning_machine_tool_schema defined in this part of ISO 14649 serves as a basic tool schema including the information required by the CNC to select
a tool from the machine tool's tool turret.
NOTE 2 In ISO 6983, the tool is defined by its identifier (e.g. T8). No further information concerning
the tool type or geometry is given. This information is part of the tool set-up sheet,
which is supplied with the NC-program to the machine. The tool set-up sheet gives
the relationship between the tool location (e.g. the slot 8 of the tool magazine)
and the type of tool (e.g. "drill 4 mm").
This part of ISO 14649 includes the information which is contained in the tool set-up sheet:
• tool identifier;
• tool type;
