TURRET section
The TURRET x program section (x: 1 to 6) defines the assignment of
the tool carrier x. For every assigned turret pocket:
„ The tool ID number is entered if the tool is in the database.
„ The tool description is entered directly if it is a temporary tool.
Temporary tools are not transferred into the database.
The following functions are available for editing the turret assignment:
„ “Turret assignment” menu item: For each entry of this section you
call the Tool dialog box and load a tool from the database, or
describe the tool with the “Extended input” or as a “simple tool.”
„ “Set up tool list” menu item: As in the set-up function, the CNC
PILOT provides the turret assignment of this NC program as a tool
list for editing. In this function you use only tools from the database.

Tools are usually described in the database and the tool ID number is
entered as a reference in the NC program. As an alternative you can
describe the tool in the NC program.
