Magazine/location number
● The magazine location numbers
The magazine number is specified first, followed by the location number
in the magazine.
If there is only one magazine, only the location number is displayed.
● Load position in the load magazine
The following icons can also be displayed for other magazine types (e.g.
for a chain):
● Spindle location as an icon
● Locations for gripper 1 and gripper 2 (applies only when a spindle with
dual gripper is used) as icons.
Tool type
Specific tool offset data is displayed depending on the tool type (represen‐
ted as an icon).
For milling/turning machines, the icon identifies the position of the tool; this
was selected when the tool was created.
You have the option of changing the tool type or the tool position using the
<SELECT> key.
The tool is identified by the name and the sister tool number. You may enter
the names as text or numbers.
Note: The maximum length of tool names is 31 ASCII characters. The num‐
ber of characters is reduced for Asian characters or Unicode characters.
