3.4 Setting up a tool list

Machine with turret

The tools used are listed in the turret list. The ID number of the

mounted tool is assigned to every tool holder in the turret.

In the Teach-in cycle you program the turret position as T number.

The tool ID number is automatically entered under "ID."

The turret list can be set up through the TSF menu or directly from the

cycle dialogs in the Teach-in mode.

 T turret pocket number

 Tool ID (name) is entered automatically.

 Open the Turret list. If the cursor is on the ID input

field, the CNC PILOT also automatically opens the

tool list with the entries in the tool database.

Machine with multifix

Machines with multifix tool holders have one tool pocket in which the

tools are changed manually.

 T turret pocket number: Always T1

 Tool ID (name): Select the ID number from the tool list

 Open the Tool list.

The turret and multifix tool systems can be used together

on one machine. The machine tool builder defines the

number of the multifix pocket.
