9.2.18 Assignment of magazines and magazine locations to channels
Requirement
Turning technology or milling technology and technology extension turning have been set:
Name of the associated
configuration file sltmturninglistconfig.xml or sltmmillturnlistconfig.xml.
Assignment between magazine and magazine locations and channel
With this setting, magazines and magazine locations can be assigned to channels. This makes
sense if the machine is configured so that several channels are assigned to one tool area (TOA
area). If each magazine is only used in one channel, it is possible to define this assignment
between the magazine or magazine locations and the channel here.
As a consequence of this configuration, the tool icons are output with reference to their position
depending on the channel. Every channel can be assigned a position using the channel
machine data MD52000 MCS_DISP_COORDINATE_SYSTEM. If a tool is at a magazine
location which is assigned a channel via this configuration, then the tool icon is output
depending on this position that has been set.
This setting option is only available in turning technology and in milling technology with the
technology extension milling. This can be especially helpful if, on a multi-channel machine, a
magazine is used before the turning center and another magazine after the turning center.
This means that the tools can be entered into the tool list in a position visible for the operator.
The assignment between magazine locations and channels is useful when instead of two
magazines, two tool holders/tool spindles exist that fetch their tools from a magazine. One tool
holder is used in front of the turning center and one is used behind the turning center, so that
different views onto the tool result.
