SETTING THE TOOL LENGTH
One of the first things that will need to be done is loading the cutting tool into the tool holders.
Each tool must then be placed into the tool magazine in the exact location as defined in the
programming software. It is useful to mark each toolholder and tool assembly with a marker to
ensure that they are installed back into the correct tool magazine positions.
IMPORTANT: If the Tool No. in the program does not match the tool location in the
tool magazine, the result will be a damaged project and possibly damage to the tool and table.
DAMAGE DUE TO INCORRECT TOOL NUMBER SETTING AND TOOL PLACEMENT IN THE
TOOL MAGAZINE WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
Selecting each tool to be measured is done by running the specific program designed for each
too
l. There are six programs loaded into “Local Files” memory. Run the file “T1.NC” to select the
tool in the number one position. Run the file “T2.NC” to select the tool in the number two
position. Repeat this for each tool position.
1. Manually load and unload each of the tool holder
with the correct bit securely installed in the holder.
Use the tooling clamp at the back of the table to
support the tool holder while installing the bit. Use
the directional bearing wrench to tighten the collet
nut to secure the bit into the tool holder.
2. Mark and position each tool holder and bit
assembly in the magazine so that you can
accurately verify the specific tool position for each
tool. This MUST match the tool number for the
program to be used to machine the material.
3. With the table powered On, View the screen to
identify which tool the controller thinks is loaded.
In the screen simulation below, this controller thinks Tool 3 (T3) is currently in the spindle. If
the program T3 is selected, nothing will happen as the controller is already set to T3.
