⑫
The following tool call is programmed in the NC program:
N10 T=1
The call is processed as follows:
1. Magazine location 1 is considered and the tool identifier determined.
2. The tool management recognizes that this tool is blocked and therefore cannot be used.
3. A tool search for T="drill" is initiated in accordance with the set search strategy:
"Find the active tool; or select the one with the next highest duplo number."
4. The following usable tool is then found:
"Drill", duplo no. 3 (at magazine location 4)
This completes the tool selection process and the tool change is initiated.
Note
If the "Select the first available tool from the group" search strategy is employed, the order of
the groups is not defined. In this case, T10 or T1 is selected.
When the search strategy "Take the first tool with "active" status from the group" is applied, T1
is loaded.
