Manual change systems
Refer to your machine manual.
Your machine must be prepared by the machine tool
builder if you want to use manual change systems.
A tool holder is designated as a manual change system if it can
accommodate various tool inserts via an integral clamping device.
Most clamping devices designed as polygon coupling enable rapid,
position-precise replacement of tool inserts.
With a manual change system it is possible to insert tools that are
not in the turret during a program run. For this, the control checks
whether the called tool is in the turret or has to be loaded. If a tool
change is required, the control interrupts the program run. After you
have manually loaded the tool insert, confirm the tool change and
continue the program run.
The following steps are necessary for using manual change
systems:
Create the tool holder in the holder table
Select the tool holder in the turret assignment list
Enter the tool data for the manual change tool
Setting up the holder for manual change systems
Setting up the manual change system holder in the turret
assignment list:
Press the
Turret list
soft key
Press the Special functions soft key
Press the Set-up the holder soft key
Press the Transfer of ID no. soft key
After setting up a holder for a manual change system in
the turret assignment list, three fields of the specific line
are color-highlighted.
You can remove a holder for a manual change system
with the
Remove tool holder soft key.
In the turret assignment list, you can only set up the
holder type
MTS
1 (manual change system). For holder
type MTS 0 (standard holder), the control displays an
error message.
If the
MTS
parameter of the tool has been set to
1:
Manual change tool , you can define a tool holder. If 0:
Tool holder has been defined, the Set-up the holder soft
key is grayed out.
