On some machines, the carousel will move when a T word is programmed, at

the same time machining is occurring. On such machines, programming the T

word several lines before a tool change will save time. A common programming

practice for such machines is to put the T word for the next tool to be used on

the line after a tool change. This maximizes the time available for the

carousel to move.
