Fig. 3-79 Process of auto tool change for linear tool magazine
See Fig. 3-79 for the process of auto tool change for linear tool magazine (taking multi-workpiece
and a tool magazine parallel to X axis as an example).
Linear tool magazine stores tools in the form of array. For example, if a customer has 12 tools, he
can select a 1-line 12-row tool magazine, or a 2-line 6-row tool magazine, etc. To realize auto tool
change, our programming is done according to the related information provided by users in advance
(realized in public.dat). The system offers multi-tool coordinate positions, which will not be listed here.
