Assigning a tool carrier

To allow the control to factor a tool carrier into calculations, you
must assign the tool carrier to a tool and call the tool again.
Parameterized tool carriers can consist of several
subfiles. If the subfiles are incomplete, the control will
display an error message.
Only use fully parameterized tool carriers, error-free
STL files or M3D files.
Tool carriers in STL format must meet the following
requirements:
Max. 20 000 triangles
Triangular mesh forms a closed shell
If an STL file does not meet the requirements of the
control, then the control issues an error message.
To assign a tool carrier to a tool, proceed as follows:
Operating mode: Press the Manual operation key
Press the TOOL TABLE soft key
Press the EDIT soft key
Move the cursor to the KINEMATIC column of the
required tool
Press the SELECT soft key
The control opens a pop-up window with the
available tool carriers.
Select the desired tool carrier using the preview
Press the OK soft key
The control copies the name of the selected tool
carrier to the KINEMATIC column.
Exit the tool table
