Hi,
Does anyone know if you can reduce toolchange time on a Mazak Vortex (1400 II, with Fanuc 31i control) by actually having the next tool ready in the ATC shifter arm? I understand calling next tool will I think rotate drum magazine, but it doesn't I think put the tool into the shifter itself? Toolchange takes approx 30 seconds currently with no preselction of any kind.
