List of primary functions
1. 8 tools/disk mode
Management activation for tool holder disks with 8 slots. No preloading of tools in concurrent operation time, but possible to work with 8 tools per disk --> total 24 tools
2. 7 tools/disk mode
Management activation for tool holder disks with 8 slots. Preloading of tools in concurrent operation time (following request for code G806[n], n: no. of the next tool to be loaded in the spindle), but possible to work with only 7 tools per disk --> Total 21 tools
3. Quick tool change (II)
Activation of accelerated tool change mode. In this mode, the tool change sequence is activated before the spindle has come to a complete stop.

11. Disk no. 3 clamping/unclamping
Activate the collet on tool magazine slot no. 3
12. Disk no. 2 clamping/unclamping
Activate the collet on tool magazine slot no. 2
13. Disk no. 1 clamping/unclamping
Activate the collet on tool magazine slot no. 1
Risk of collision
The quick tool change must not be activated if the tool breakage detection function is activated.
The quick tool change does not inhibit other functions that could cause collisions (tool breakage detection). Therefore, it is possible for the tool breakage detection rod to collide with the SCARA or a tool and cause damage.
(I) Tool active
Tool settings can only be changed if the tool is not active.
To change the values:
Deactivate the tool
Change the values
Reactivate the tool
(II) Kinematics in "quick tool change" mode
"Quick tool change" mode activated:
The SCARA is positioned in the machining area during the spindle deceleration phase.
It changes the tool when the latter is stopped.
And validates the change once the tool is in the spindle..
The CNC takes over while the SCARA returns to the waiting position behind the partition.
"Quick tool change" mode deactivated:
The SCARA only validates the change when it is in a waiting position behind the partition
