    Loading spare tooling in the magazine

    Is there an Okuma machine that allows you to load tools in the magazine from behind the machine while it is running? This seems impossible on a multus or a macturn

    THWACK!

    That's the sound of all the guys involved with CE recoiling in horror.

    Yes for Multus as it has a fixed magazine
    no for Macturn as the mag travels with the Z axis

    Hey budgiew, how would you do it on the multus, because when you have a tool change, the magazine indexes to ready the next tool? How would you load and unload without holding the machine up? Very curious on this one! Thanks again'
    I do not understand the "thwack " and "CE" post at all!

    "CE" is after "Certified for Europe". Work safety requirements are very stright. Way for germans to help their machinetool sell in Europe better.
