It depends on whether you have an automatic tool changer, how many slots your machine has and if the tool data or technical data has the correct 0 point for the first tool location. If these are available, then it should be possible. It's a fairly technical setup but easy enough once you know how it works. Our tooling has 2 locator sensors on the carousel and 2 on the slide for the carousel. Each must be fine tuned and the technical data updated to allow proper rotations and load/unload points to avoid damaging the tool carrier claws.
Ok, I can answer to my self. Lastly I have figured out that our Biesse rover 22 with nc500 software can unload tool automatically which I use on the end of program by using line M 301.
Otherwise there is function in nc500 tool change, therefore tools can be changed automatically.
