Check tool magazine status

Navigate to MOD function > Tool Management > Tool Table and verify the current tool count against magazine capacity in machine parameter MP7260 (maximum number of tool positions).

Use the TNC's tool overview display to quickly identify occupied vs. available positions

Remove unused tools

Access the tool table via Setup > Tool Table and identify tools with status 'L' (locked) or unused tools that can be manually removed from the magazine to free up positions.

Ensure spindle is stopped and tool changer is in safe position before manual tool removal

Verify magazine indexing

Execute manual magazine rotation via MDI mode using M06 T0 to check all positions are accessible and properly indexed according to MP7270 (tool change position parameters).

Verify tool mount type definition

In Tool Table, check column 'MOUNT' for the problematic tool and compare against available pocket mount types defined in machine parameter MP7280 series (tool pocket configuration).

Common mount types include BT40, HSK63, CAT40 - ensure exact match including size designation

Check pocket configuration

Access Setup > Machine > Tool Change Parameters and verify pocket mount type assignments match your tool inventory requirements in MP7281-MP7299 range.

Reassign tool to compatible pocket

Manually assign the tool to a specific pocket with matching mount type using the 'P' column in the tool table, or modify the tool's mount type if incorrect.

Check tool dimensional parameters

Review tool table entries for LENGTH (L) and RADIUS (R) values against machine parameter limits MP7290 (max tool length) and MP7291 (max tool diameter).

Oversized tools can cause collision damage to magazine or spindle

Verify weight limitations

Check if tool weight exceeds magazine capacity limits defined in MP7292 (maximum tool weight per pocket) - particularly important for heavy boring bars or large face mills.

Assign to appropriate pocket type

Use Setup > Tool Management to assign oversized tools to dedicated heavy-duty or large tool pockets if available, or store manually outside automatic system.

Reset tool management system

Navigate to Setup > Tool Management > Reset and perform a complete tool table reset, then execute automatic tool detection cycle via MP7295 (tool detection enable).

Backup current tool table before reset using TNC's file management system

Reinitialize magazine reference

Execute magazine reference cycle through MDI mode using manufacturer-specific M-code (typically M101-M110 range) to reestablish pocket position reference.

Verify system consistency

Run diagnostic cycle via Setup > Diagnosis > Tool Changer to verify all magazine positions are properly recognized and database integrity is restored.
