Special Tools - HEIDENHAIN TNC 415 Technical Manual

15.1.1 Special Tools

In the pocket table the "ST" field can be used to define tools as special tools. If these are oversize
tools that are too big for one pocket in the tool magazine, then pockets must be reserved on either
side of that pocket. In the pocket table these pockets are locked by the "L" field.

Variable pocket coding can be restricted by the "F" field (fixed pocket). For special tools, variable
pocket coding can also be restricted with marker M2601. If marker M2601 is set then all special
tools are returned to their original pocket despite "variable pocket coding" being selected. This
function can also be defined for specific normal tools in the "F" field.
