Loading and unloading tools manually

Manual tools
Bit 1 of MD22562: $MC_TOOL_CHANGE_ERROR_MODE decides whether additional tools
without magazine allocation can be selected during tool change. The automatically selected
tool must be inserted in the machine manually and removed again manually after machining.
Responsibility of the operator
The operator must ensure that the data block for the tool on the spindle is in the NCK, or that
he/she puts the appropriate tool onto the spindle for the data block stored in the NCK. Tools
which are loaded manually during machining are referred to as "manual tools".
Note
The responsibility is on the user to comply with the safety regulations via the PLC program.
An alarm (17212, 17214 or 17216) is always output to indicate that a tool change involving a
manual tool has been executed. The alarm is reset by the tool change acknowledgment of
the PLC user program.
The following types of tools are manual tools:
● Oversized tools
● Tools that cannot be stored in the magazine.
● Tools that may not be handled by the gripper system.
