Tool Change Times

 

These sections are where you set the amount of time it takes to perform a tool change to/from different types of tools. Please reference your Post Application Notes for what tool numbers are associated with each tool type. Each section should be reviews and adjusted as needed in order to receive accurate cycle time studies.

 

Tool_Change_Layout

 

Note: The first tool of the sequence will use the tool change time value found under "Other" for that section of Tools.

 

For Example:

In the below section 'Change From Tool to' we are defining the amount of time it takes to go from a "Tool" in the main spindle to one of the following types of tools Drill, Tool in the main spindle, Piggyback, Aggregate, Other. If the first tool used in a sequence is a "Tool" then the tool change time will be 15 seconds. If the next tool used is another tool in the tool changer, then the tool change time will be 7 seconds.
