Access Tool Table

Press MOD key, select 'Tool table' from the TNC menu to open TOOL.T table.

Use Ctrl+F to quickly search for specific tool numbers in large tool tables.

Check Mount Type Column

Verify the MT (Mount Type) column entry for the tool referenced in %1 parameter matches available mount types (typically 0=SK40, 1=HSK63, 2=HSK100, etc.).

Never modify mount types without confirming physical tool holder compatibility.

Cross-Reference Tool Carrier Table

Open Tool Carrier table (TOOLCARR.TCH) and verify matching mount type entries exist for the spindle position.

Use machine parameter 7160.x to define standard mount type assignments if using automatic tool management.

Correct Mount Type Entry

Update the tool table MT column to match an available tool carrier mount type, or install appropriate tool carrier.

Ensure physical tool holder actually matches the mount type being programmed.

Open Tool Carrier Table

Navigate to MOD menu, select 'Tool carrier table' to access TOOLCARR.TCH configuration.

Sort by carrier number to systematically check all positions.

Verify Carrier Mount Types

Check that each tool carrier entry has correct MT (Mount Type) value matching the physical tool holders installed in spindle/changer positions.

Incorrect mount type definitions can cause tool crashes during automatic tool changes.

Check Carrier Status

Ensure tool carrier entries have proper status flags (not locked, disabled, or marked as unavailable) in the TOOLCARR.TCH table.

Use machine parameter 7262 to define default tool carrier behavior for empty positions.

Update Carrier Definitions

Add missing tool carrier entries or correct mount type values to match available physical tool holders.

Always perform a dry run after modifying tool carrier configurations.

Check Spindle Parameters

Access machine parameters via MOD key, navigate to spindle configuration section and verify parameter 7160 (spindle mount type definition).

Document current parameter values before making any changes for easy rollback.

Verify Mount Type Compatibility

Confirm machine parameter 7160.0 (spindle mount type) matches the physical spindle interface and requested tool mount type.

Incorrect spindle mount type parameters can damage tools and spindle interface.

Check Tool Change Parameters

Verify parameters 7261-7265 (tool change configuration) are properly set for the spindle mount system being used.

Consult machine manufacturer documentation for specific parameter values for your spindle type.

Reset Tool Management

Perform a tool management reset via machine parameter 7290.0 = 1 to reinitialize mount type recognition.

Tool management reset will clear current tool status - re-measure tools as needed.

Check Magazine Status

Access tool magazine overview via MOD menu to view current tool changer position status and occupancy.

Use the graphical magazine display if available for easier visualization of tool positions.

Verify Position Mount Types

Check that magazine positions have correct mount type assignments in machine parameters 7270.x series (magazine position configuration).

Never manually move magazine positions while system is powered - use manual magazine functions only.

Clear Position Conflicts

Remove or relocate tools that are blocking positions needed for the required mount type, or reassign tool to compatible position.

Use tool optimization functions in advanced tool management to automatically arrange tools by mount type.
