HEIDENHAIN CNC PILOT 4290 627
8.1 Tool Database
Tool mounting position
The mounting position is fixed by the machine tool builder (see MP
511, ...) Depending on the turret location, the CNC PILOT determines
the tool mounting position:
 AP=0: axial mount – left turret side
 AP=1: radial mount – left turret side
 AP=2: radial mount – right turret side
 AP=3: axial mount – right turret side
When the tool is mounted radially in the middle of the
turret, “AP=1” is used.
