Defining the tool change position

With the cycle Move to tool change position or the DIN command
G14, the slide moves to the tool change point. Program the tool
change point far enough away from the workpiece so that the turret
can rotate without collision and the tools do not damage the
workpiece during tool change.

Select Setting up

Select the tool change point

Move to the tool change position

Move to the tool change point using the jog keys or
the handwheel and load this position as tool change
point

Enter the tool change position directly

Enter the desired tool change position in the X and Z input fields in
machine coordinates (X = radius dimension).

DEFINING THE TOOL CHANGE POSITION

The coordinates of the tool change position are entered
and displayed as the distance between machine zero point
and tool carrier zero point. It is recommended to move to
the tool change point and load the position with the Take
over position

soft key.
