3.10 Loading or unloading a tool

You can load and unload tools to and from a magazine via the tool list.

When a tool is loaded, it is taken to a magazine location. When it is

unloaded, it is removed from the magazine and stored in the tool list.

When you are loading a tool, the application automatically suggests an

empty location. You may also directly specify an empty magazine location.

You can unload tools from the magazine that you are not using at present.

The Sinumerik Operate then automatically saves the tool data in the tool

list in the NC memory outside the magazine.

Should you want to use the tool again later, simply load the tool with the

tool data into the corresponding magazine location again. Then the same

tool data does not have to be entered more than once.

3.10.1 Selecting the function "Load" or "Unload".

By pressing the VSK 1.5 "Load" the following "Load

on ..." window opens.

The softkey is only active if the cursor is located on a

tool that is not assigned to the magazine.

By pressing the VSK 1.5 "Unload" the selected tool

will be unloaded from the magazine. The softkey is

only active if the cursor is placed on a tool that is as-

signed to the magazine.
