Access to tool life parameters

Tool life time/tool life distance

In addition to the possibility of sending tool life data by an NC command to the tool management system (#TOOL LIFE READ), tool life data also can be evaluated online by CNC objects.

The factors for tool life weighting (cf V.TLM.TIME_FACT, V.TLM.DIST_FACT) can also be changed.
