1.4 Tool Programming
1.4 Tool Programming
The designations of the tool pockets are fixed by the machine tool
builder. Each tool holder has a unique T number.
In the T command (MACHINING section) you program the T number,
and therefore the position to which the tool carrier rotates. The
MANUALplus retrieves the assignment of the tools to the turret
position from the tool list of the TURRET section.
You can edit the tool entries individually, or you can call the tool list via
the Set up the tool list menu item and then edit it.
