Example of a tool list with variable location assignment
The main display of the "Tools" operating area shows the current tool
list with the following data:
Loc. Location number
The following designations/symbols are used for:
• The spindle location
• The locations for gripper 1 and gripper 2 (applies only when a
spindle with dual gripper is used)
• The magazine location numbers
If the configuration includes more than one magazine, the location
number is specified first followed by the magazine number in the
magazine:
e.g. 10/1 = Location number 10 in magazine 1
5/2 = Location number 5 in magazine 2
• Tools that are not assigned to a magazine in the tool list are stored
in a location without location number.
This allows management of tools that are not actually contained in
the tool magazine.
Type Tool type
Depending on the tool type (represented by a symbol), only certain
tool offset data are enabled.
Tool name A tool is identified by its name and duplo number of the tool. You can
enter the name as text or a number (see Sec. "Changing tool
names").
DP Duplo number of twin tool (replacement tool)
