About this task
NOTE
A list of approved tools can be found in section "Milling tools" on page 23.
NOTE
Note regarding the assignment of the tool fields!
The software does not check whether the milling cutters in the tool fields are
also physically inserted in the device. If an incorrect milling cutter type or
no milling cutter type is stored, it can result in serious damage to the milling
cutters, the material, or the milling unit.
Only use milling tools from Planmeca. The milling tools from Planmeca are
ready-ringed in the correct projecting length and are available from your local
Planmeca dealer.
The tool magazine for this milling unit can be equipped with max. 10 tools.
Each available tool position can be assigned an arbitrary tool type.
Steps
1. When the cover status display lights up, open the protective door.
2. Insert the tool into the corresponding tool station in the tool magazine so
that the cutting edge is inside the tool magazine.
Make sure you do not strike or damage the tools during insertion. Ensure
that the tool is correctly and securely seated in the tool changer.
3. Close the protective door.
4. Check the control software to ensure that the tool assignment in the tool
changer matches with the assignment in the software.
For more information see section "Assigning tools" on page 72.
