5.2 Selecting a tool and spindle
5.2.1 T,S,M window
For the preparatory actions in manual mode, tool selection and spindle control are both
performed centrally in a screen form.
In addition to the main spindle (S1), there is another tool spindle (S2) for powered tools.
Your turning machine can also be equipped with a counter-spindle (S3).
In manual mode, you can select a tool on the basis of either its name or its revolver location
number. If you enter a number, a search is performed for a name first, followed by a location
number. This means that if you enter "5", for example, and no tool with the name "5" exists, the
tool is selected from location number "5".
Note
Using the revolver location number, therefore, you can swing around an empty space into the
machining position and then comfortably install a new tool.
