Tailstock 
● Yes
● No
 
XRR Retraction plane tailstock – only "Yes" for tailstock mm
Tool change point  Tool change point, which must be approached by the revolver with its zero point. 
● WCS (Workpiece Coordinate System)
● MCS (Machine Coordinate System)
Notes
● The tool change point must be far enough outside the retraction area that it is 
not possible for any tool to protrude into the retraction area while the revolver 
is moving.
● Ensure that the tool change point is relative to the zero point of the revolver and 
not the tool tip.
