Operations with the magazine table

9.7.1

Loading / unloading tools to / from the magazine

The tools may be loaded and unloaded to/from the magazine manually or
automatically. When done manually, the positions list must be updated.

Manual load/unload

The operator places the tools directly in the magazine without using the CNC. Then,
the positions list must be updated.

Automatic load/unload

The operator places the tools in the spindle and the CNC places the tool in the
magazine. The positions list is updated automatically.

Initialize table

The table can only be initialized when the CNC is "READY". The table is initialized
from the vertical softkey menu.

Loading a tool

Depending on tool size, when it is loaded into the magazine, it may affect several
positions.

Magazine management using the "Load tool" softkey.

This type of management is valid for loading tools both automatically and manually.
After pressing the softkey, the user is asked what kind of loading to do.

1. Press the softkey associated with tool loading.

2. Enter the tool number and the magazine position to insert it. By default, it offers

the position selected on the list with the cursor.

3. Press the [CYCLE START] key to load the tool automatically by means of the

spindle or the [ENTER] key to update the positions list after loading manually.

Initializing the table eliminates all the data about the position of the tools
in the magazine. It also initializes the active-tools table because the tool
arrangement in the magazine has been changed.

The tool is loaded into the magazine using the vertical softkey menu. Only the tools
defined in the tool table may be loaded into the magazine and they must be defined
as ground tools. In other words, they must not be in any position of the magazine,
of the spindle or in the claws of the tool changer.

Even if the magazines are configured for not admitting ground tools while
machining, they may be loaded into the magazine through this maneuver.
