If data are still missing for loading, the input screen form for the tool
details appears. The missing data are initialized with default values
and can be edited if necessary. Start the loading operation again
afterwards.
In addition to direct data entry, there are various ways of importing
and loading tool data belonging to tools which have already been
defined:
1. Read the data in from a code carrier (if one is installed)
2. Read the data in from a host computer (if one is installed)
3. Select the "Tool from cabinet" menu.
Select the tool in the tool cabinet. The tool data are read from
there.
If not all of the softkeys are visible, change the display by pressing the
appropriate key on the operator panel front.
When you have defined the source for loading, the system
automatically tries to find a suitable empty location for the tool to be
imported. The vertical softkey bar changes.
If no location is found, an error message is displayed.
You can use the "Tool details" display to edit the data of the tool to be
loaded (if necessary).
If the tool has not yet been created, it is created automatically when
you call up the input screen form.
Load/input mode is canceled.
A tool created via "Tool details" or "Start" is deleted. You can search
for another empty location.
The loading operation is initiated. If the tool has not yet been created,
it is created automatically.
"Load directly to spindle" is possible if the cursor is positioned on the
spindle buffer location.
