Gentlemen, Operator loads a program. Operator(or program loading) reads the tool database to populate the local tool table.
T01 - selects tool - this initiates a read of the tool table in the control. The tool table in the control could very well be limited to 256 tools or certainly to 32,000 tools. The tool table read compares the chosen tool life data (parts ran or time or torque) to determine if tool substitution is necessary. If substitution is necessary the operator is notified and/or the robot makes the substitution from the tool hive into the local tool chain/carousel. The new tool information is read from the database into the local tool table. just my two cents thanks Stuart -- Addressee is the intended audience.
