NOTE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Note regarding the assignment of the tool fields!
The software does not check whether the milling cutters in the tool fields are
also physically inserted in the device. If an incorrect milling cutter type or no
milling cutter type is stored then this can result in serious damage to the
milling cutters, the material or the milling unit!
The running time of the milling tools in use is logged in the control software.
The recommended preset of the maximum running time of the milling tools
can vary depending on the used material and can be adjusted in the control
software. If worn, replace milling tools.
Always replace the broken tools.
In order to perform a tool change, the user must be familiar with the
fundamental operation of the milling unit and the control software.
Only qualified personnel are permitted to perform the tool change!
The tool change always takes place in the tool magazine! If the tool to be
changed is in the collet chuck then drive the spindle into the service position,
see section "Touch screen commands" on page 64. With this process, the
tool is stored in its original position. It is subsequently possible to perform the
change as described in section "Loading tool magazine" on page 56.
The tools must be stored with the correct tool number in the corresponding
tool field (see section "Service, maintenance and cleaning" on page 76) to
ensure the correct assignment of the tools.
If, during the tool change, it is unclear which tool is presently in the collet
chuck, the following definition window will be displayed on the screen of the
control PC.
