Tool life monitoring

This group shows the data related to tool life monitoring. If a tool has been defined with several offsets, it is possible to manage the status of each one.

When managing the live of two or more offsets of the same tool, the list of the magazine positions (magazine table) only shows whether the tool has been rejected or not.
