● Load location
Load locations are
areas on the machine at which the direct loading
in the magazine is possible. The tool can be inserted directly into
the magazine at this location. The magazine location to be loaded
is moved to the loading point. For example, chain magazines have
loading points.

A loading station is a location outside the magazine onto which the
tool to be loaded is placed. The tool is then transported from that
location to the magazine via a transport mechanism. Loading
stations are generally used for box or chain magazines.
Index The index counts the locations of a type.

Loading point 1 is always set automatically as loading/unloading point for spindle 1 (manual
loading point).
