13.5 Tool list
You can unload tools from the magazine that you are not using at present. HMI then
automatically saves the tool data in the NC memory.
Should you want to use the tool again later, simply load the tool with the tool data into the
corresponding magazine location again. Then the same tool data does not have to be entered
more than once.
