ISO 13399 Tools

Most of the ISO 13399 tools are compatible with the NC Machining tools. For each imported ISO 13399 tool, a corresponding tool is created in the Machining apps.

Insert Interface Code (IIC) and Nominal Gage Length

You can build tool assemblies using the IIC ISO13399 norm. Correctly position the components in the assembly by using the IIC to verify the compatibility between components and nominal gage length.

IIC References

Insert Interface Codes consist of 12 references:

Reference Number Description
Letter symbol identifying source of code.
Letter symbol identifying insert shape 1.
Letter symbol identifying insert shape 2.
Number symbol identifying insert size 1.
Number or letter symbol identifying insert size 2.
Number symbol identifying lower limit of radius.
Number symbol identifying insert mounting style.
Letter symbol identifying hand of insert.
Letter symbol identifying clamping surface.
Letter symbol identifying insert configuration 1.
Letter symbol identifying insert configuration 2.
Number symbol identifying upper limit of radius

IIC values are visible in the Gauge Insert section of tool and lathe shank edition dialog boxes, as well as in the Technology section of insert edition dialog boxes. When the tool accepts different types of inserts at the same place, you can select the required IIC from the list. You can also modify the IIC string value, and add or remove IIC's directly in the dialog boxes.

IIC compatibility with tool or shank is verified when you create a tool assembly.

Example IIC For a Cutting Item with a Corner Radius

The IIC ISO$SN1204082NA$$08 can be broken down as follows:

ISO$ S N 12 04 08 2 N A $ $ 08

This translates into an ISO-designated square insert with normal clearance angle 0°, cutting edge length 12.7 mm, cutting edge height 4.76 mm, corner radius 0.8 mm, cylindrical fixing hole, neutral handed, and flat clamping surface.

Example IIC For a Cutting Item with Wiper

The IIC ISO$TD16T3$$4RBPE$$ can be broken down as follows:

ISO$ T D 16 T3 $$ 4 R B P E $$

This translates into an ISO-designated triangle insert with normal clearance angle 15°, cutting edge length 16.49 mm, cutting edge height 3.97 mm, no corner radius, partly cylindrical fixing hole 70° to 90° countersunk, right-handed, non-flatted clamping surface, cutting edge angle 90°, and wiper clearance angle 20°.

Example IIC For a Cutting Item with Wiper and Corner Radius

The IIC ISO$AP1605123RBED12 can be broken down as follows:

ISO$ A P 16 05 12 3 R B E D 12

This translates into an ISO-designated parallelogram-shaped 85° insert with normal clearance angle 11°, cutting edge length 16.49 mm, cutting edge height 5.56 mm, corner radius 1.2 mm, partly cylindrical fixing hole 40° to 60° countersunk on one side, right-handed, non-flatted clamping surface, cutting edge angle 75°, and wiper clearance angle 15°.

Example IIC For a Tool Item for Inserts with a Corner Radius

The IIC ISO$SN1204002NA$$12 can be broken down as follows:

ISO$ S N 12 04 00 2 N A $ $ 12

This translates into an ISO-designated square insert with normal clearance angle 0°, cutting edge length 12.7 mm, cutting edge height 4.76 mm, for max corner radius 1.2 mm, cylindrical fixing hole, neutral handed, and flat clamping surface.

Nominal Gage

You can use nominal gage length to correctly position the components of a tool assembly.

In ISO13399 norm for NC Cutting tools, the Mounting Coordinate System (MCS) axis defines the position where the tool or adaptor are mounted on holder. MCS is the modular cartridge system that defines the connection to enable the holding of a cartridge for specific applications. Coordinate System for the Workpiece (CSW) is the coordinate system at workpiece side on different levels.

When the tool or adaptor are imported from a P21 file, the nominal gage is stored by calculating the length distance between the MCS origin and the bottom of the tool or adaptor. Then, when you create a tool assembly, the nominal gage value is called and assigned as the gage parameter default value, replacing the OAL parameter.

Note: When the MSC axis is specific to the user-representation coming from a P21 or STP file, it is not published at the product tool level.

Nominal gage values are visible in the Technology section of the tool and tool holder edition dialog boxes.

Note: Only milling tool assemblies are concerned, there is no gage management on turning tool assemblies.
