Tool change via T number

Tool change via T number

Function

In chain, rotary-plate and box magazines, a tool change normally takes place in 2 stages: A T command locates the tool in the magazine, and an M command inserts it in the spindle.

In turret magazines on turning machines, the T command carries out the entire tool change, that is, locates and inserts the tool. The tool change mode can be set using machine data.

Benefits

• Adapting the tool change to the machine
