behaving the same as
a machine in real life.

or install tools a
machine has to be off.

is ON and you can
only see in-active tool

Some operators prefer to remove all the tools
from a machine before setting up for a new job.
In this case don’t select each tool individually.
In “Settings” is a button that will remove all tools
from a selected machine and will set all Work
Offsets to zero.
Frequently asked Questions to Tool Transfer:
Can I set up for a new job using Tool Transfer: Yes you can. Use your Set-up sheet and place the tools in the software into
the tool changer pockets required for this job. A set-up O007 program is created and sent to the machine with the offsets for
the installed tools.
Why using the Job Control module instead of Tool Transfer: In Tool Transfer the program does not relate your tool placement
to a job. You will always place the tools manually.
Why can’t I place a duplicate tool: You can. Go to Settings and enable this option. In general there is no need to duplicate a
tool. So the program alerts you. If you however need a duplicate in Lights-Out operation and Tool Life management the
program allows you to do that.
Why can’t I un-install a tool: You have to select a tool in the “Pocket No” column first.
Can I install any tool I have: Yes you can. If a tool you have is not in the database, select “Install NST Tool”. NST stands for
“Non System Tool”.
Can I change Offset locations: Yes you can but only for Non System Tools and you have to select a location number that is
above the number of tools available in the tool changer.
