Easier access to the
tooling components may
be obtained by moving
the machine head
halfway down the Z
axis.
Safety First !
-
Never open the safety
guard door and enter
the working area when
the spindle or machine
axes are moving.
x
On reading a tool change operation line in your CNC program, all
three machine axes will move to their home positions, via an
intermediate point, if programmed.
At this point, the software will pause the CNC program and a
message window will be displayed (similar to the one shown below),
prompting you to manually change tools.
Always wait for the spindle and machine axes to stop moving, before
attempting to open the safety guard door.
Replace the current tool number with the tool number specified in
the message window (the tool profiles allocated to each tool number
are listed at the beginning of your CNC program).
Close the safety guard door and click on the [OK] button to resume
your machining.
