Tool slots, also known as tool pockets, are designated positions within the tool magazine where individual tools are securely held. Each slot is designed to accommodate a specific type or size of tool, ensuring that they are correctly positioned and easily accessible by the machine. Proper organization of tools in these slots is crucial for efficient tool management and quick tool changes.
The tool magazine is a storage unit attached to the CNC machine that holds a variety of tools, such as drills, end mills, and taps. It is designed to automatically switch between tools during the machining process, allowing for continuous operation without manual intervention. The magazine's capacity can vary, with some machines holding just a few tools, while others can accommodate dozens.
