Improper tools can damage the collet chuck of the
spindle and / or the tool positions.
Only use tools with a sufficiently large chamfer at the
tool shank.
Install a retaining ring as a stop ring according to
DIN 471-A3.
Only insert tools with a maximum diameter of 3 mm
at the thickest part into the collet chuck.
Only insert tools with a maximum cutting edge dia-
meter of 2.6 mm into the tool magazine.
We recommend original tools as they are designed
especially for the designated jobs.
The machine uses exchangeable tool magazines that
can hold up to 6 tools each.

You can store magazines that are currently not needed
in the multi-purpose drawer.
A sensor recognizes the tool magazine which is
currently mounted into the working chamber. The
touchscreen displays the required magazine for each
job and whether it is mounted into the working
chamber.
The machine can change tools automatically during
machining so that it executes jobs without your inter-
ference.

The maximum tool life values that you can actu-
ally achieve with your tools depend on many
factors, such as the quality of the tools, the
quality of the blanks, how well the machine is
maintained and cleaned etc. Therefore, the tool
life values that your machine is shipped with
are default values. Due to a self-learning func-
tion, they will become more precise over time.
