This parameter defines the feed rate that is used to slide a tool into and out of a tool holder.
The feed rate is defined in the native unit of measurement, either metric or imperial that you have set
under general settings in the F1 Screen.
The Distance that a tool slides in and out is defined by the Tool Change offset .
All other movements are performed at rapid speeds.
Tool holder Z clearance
This parameter defines the position that the Z axis will move to when it has dropped the old tool into
it's slot and is traveling to the new slot to pickup the new tool.
The Z clearance height is a machine coordinate.
Travel between tools will be at rapid speed.
Travel will take the most direct route to the next tool to be picked up and may travel across the top of
other tool holders.
Pick & place Z Position
This parameter defined the height of the Z axis as a tool slides into or out of a tool holder.
This parameter defined the height the Z axis descends to when picking up or dropping off tool in a
pick and place tool changer.
The Z position height is defined as a machine coordinate.
The Z-axis moves at rapid speed when rising up from or dropping onto a tool.
Tool Clearance Offset
This parameter defines where the spindle will move to begin the tool change process.
The position is defined by X & Y coordinates and these are relative coordinate values that will be
added to the slot position coordinate value.
You can use positive or negative values to determine which side of the tool holder you approach
from.
The values are defined in the native unit of measurement, either metric or imperial that you have set
under general settings in the F1 Screen.
Once the spindle has moved to the Tool clearance offset position it will rapid to toward the Tool
change offset position
The Tool clearance offset is only used at the start of the tool change process before dropping off the
old tool.
Tool change offset
This parameter defines the position where the spindle will begin the slide into or out of the tool slot.
The feed rate used for the slide in the process is defined by the Tool Change feed rate parameter
On a sliding tool change usually only one of the position values will be used and the other is left at 0.
If both X & Y positions have defined values the tool will enter the slot at an angle.
On a Pick and place tool changer this parameter must be set to X0, Y0.
The position is defined by X & Y coordinates and these are relative coordinate values that will be
