Using 0 for a Tool Designation
A 0 (number zero) can be inserted in the tool table in place of a tool number.
If this is done the tool changer does not “see” this pocket and will never try to
install or retrieve a tool from pockets with a “0” designation.
Enter 0 then Origin to zero all pockets, enter 1 then Origin to sequence the
pockets, and enter a 3 then Origin to clear all H,h,L,l enteries. A 0 cannot be
used to designate the tool inserted into the spindle. The spindle must always
have a tool number designation.
To designate a pocket as an “always empty” pocket: Use the arrow keys to
move to and highlight the pocket to be empty, press the 0 button on the numer-
ic keypad and then press Enter.
Moving Tools in the Carousel
Should tools need moving in the carousel, follow the steps below.
CAUTION! Plan the reorganization of the tools in the carousel ahead of time. To
reduce the potential for tool changer crashes, keep tool movement to a minimum.
If there are large or heavy tools currently in the tool changer, ensure that they are
only moved between tool pockets designated as such.
