Deselecting a tool
T0
Meaning
T=: Command for tool change and activating the tool offset
The following specifications are possible:
<No>: Number of the magazine location
<name>: Name of tool
Note:
The correct notation (uppercase/lowercase) must be used when pro‐
gramming a tool name.
<n>: Spindle number as address extension
Note:
The possibility of programming a spindle number as an address extension depends on the
configuration of the machine (→ see machine manufacturer's specifications).
T0: Tool deselection (magazine location unoccupied)
Note
If the selected magazine location is not occupied in a tool magazine, the command acts as for
T0. The selection of the unoccupied magazine location can be used to position the empty
location.
Example
A circular magazine has locations 1 to 12 with the following tool assignment:
Location Tool Internal T number Status
1 Drill, duplo no. = 1 T15 Disabled
2 Not occupied
3 Drill, duplo no. = 2 T10 Enabled
