2.13.3 Changing the tool name
A tool that has just been created in the tool list is automatically
assigned the name of the selected tool group. You can change this
name as often as you want to
• a tool name, e.g. "Facing tool_120mm", or
• a tool number, e.g. "1".
The tool name must not exceed 17 characters in length. You can use
letters, digits, the underscore symbol (_), periods (".") and slashes
("/").
2.13.4 Creating a replacement tool
A replacement tool is one that can be employed to perform the same
machining operation as a tool that already exists (e.g. as a replace-
ment after tool breakage).
When you create a tool as a replacement, you must give it the same
name as an existing comparable tool.
Confirm the name with the "Input" key. The duplo number of the
replacement tool will automatically be incremented by 1.
The order in which replacement tools are attached to the spindle is
determined by duplo number DP.
2.13.5 Manual tools
Manual tools are tools which are required during machining, but are
only available in the tool list but not in the tool-holding magazine.
These tools must be attached/detached manually to/from the spindle.
The "manual tool" function must be set up by the machine
manufacturer.
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.
