Similarly to Step 1, it is checked whether a direct change or a change in two steps is to be
executed:
● 1:1 change possible: → Continue with Step 6
● 1:1 change not possible: → Continue with Step 9
Step 6: Old tool from spindle to gripper 2 and new tool from magazine to gripper 1
← Previous step: Step 5
The PLC program controls the machine functions with which the gripper movements, tool clamping,
etc. are performed. As soon as the mechanical movements are completed and acknowledged in the
PLC user program, the tool movements are acknowledged to the tool management.
