TURRET section
The TURRET x program section (x: 1 to 6) defines the assignment of
the tool carrier x. For every assigned turret pocket:
The tool ID number is entered if the tool is in the database.
The tool description is entered directly if it is a temporary tool.
Temporary tools are not transferred into the database.
The following functions are available for editing the turret assignment:
“Turret assignment” menu item: For each entry of this section you
call the Tool dialog box and load a tool from the database, or
describe the tool with the “Extended input” or as a “simple tool.”
“Set up tool list” menu item: As in the set-up function, the CNC
PILOT provides the turret assignment of this NC program as a tool
list for editing. In this function you use only tools from the database.
Tool description in the NC program:
Tools are usually described in the database and the tool ID number is
entered as a reference in the NC program. As an alternative you can
describe the tool in the NC program.
Extended tool description:
The tool parameters correspond to the first dialog box of the tool
editor.
There are no limits on the use of the tool.
Only the tool cutting edge is shown in the simulation.
If the ID number is entered, the data are taken into the database.
If the ID number is not entered, the data are not taken into the
database.
