Various tools are used for machining workpieces. The geometry and
technology data of these tools must be known to ShopTurn before you
can execute a program (see Sec. "Setting up the Machine").
ShopTurn provides the "Tool list", "Tool wear list" and "Magazine list"
screen forms for managing your tools, With these, you can also
manage tools that are not located in the revolver (magazine).
The various lists can possibly have been changed by the machine
manufacturer, in comparison to the following description.
Please also refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.
You must enter all the tools that you want to use on the turning
machine in the tools list. The tools that are in the tool turret must be
assigned to specific magazine locations. In addition, you have the
capability of sorting or deleting tools at this point.
Tool list
Location number in the magazine
The tool's location number, which is located in the revolver in the
machining position, has a gray background.
If you are working with several magazines, then you will first see the
magazine number and then the location number inside the magazine
(e.g. 1/10). Tools that are not currently located in the magazine are
displayed without a location number. (You will find these tools when
sorting for a magazine location at the end of the tool list.)
