Ivoclar digital PrograMill Dry - Tool Management and Insertion

Managing tools
NOTICE
Damaging of the spindle or the tool positions if you
use improper tools
Improper tools can damage the collet chuck of the
spindle and / or the tool positions.
Only use tools with a sufficiently large chamfer at
the tool shank.
Install a retaining ring as a stop ring according to
DIN 471-A3.
Only insert tools with a maximum diameter of 3mm
at the thickest part into the collet chuck.
Only insert tools with a maximum cutting edge
diameter of 2.6 mm into the tool magazine.
We recommend original tools as they are
designed especially for the designated jobs.
You can insert up to 16 tools into the tool magazine.
FIG. 20 – TOOL MAGAZINE IN THE WORKING CHAMBER
(MARKED ORANGE)
Normally, the machine loads tools from the tool
magazine of the machine. In the following cases, this
might not be possible:
n A tool magazine position is worn so that it can no
longer properly hold a tool
n You use tools which do not fit into the tool
magazine
In these cases, you can force a manual tool change in
PrograMill CNC (see the corresponding docu-
mentation).
If tool magazine inserts are worn, you should
replace them. ( Replacing the tool magazine
inserts – on page35)
Inserting and exchanging tools
You need to insert or exchange tools in the following
cases:
n Upon first use of the machine
n After exchanging tool magazine inserts due to
wear
n When the tool life of a tool has expired
n When tools are damaged or worn
n If the next jobs require additional/ different tools
than those in the tool magazine
You can check the remaining tool life of all
tools in the Tool management view in
PrograMill CNC.
You can equip the tool magazine of your machine in
two ways:
n By manually inserting the tools into the tool
magazine. This is the fastest way. It is described
below.
n Via the spindle – you insert a tool into the collet
chuck and the spindle will deposit the tool in the
tool magazine. This option takes more time, but
might be more convenient for some. It is
described in the documentation for your
machine.
