You enter a tool name. You can make your search more precise by entering a
replacement tool number. Depending on the configuration, the entry field "replacement
tool" is not available.
You have the option of only entering a part of the name as search term.
If only one magazine is configured, then the search is made according to the magazine
location.
If several magazines are configured, then it is possible to search a specific magazine
location in a specific magazine or just to search in a specific magazine.
The empty location search is realized using the tool size. The tool size is defined by the
number of half locations required to the right, left, top and bottom. All four directions are
of significance for a box magazine. For a chain magazine, a disk-type or a turret, only the
half locations to the right and left are of significance. The maximum number of half
locations, which a tool can occupy is limited to 7.
If the lists with the location type are used, then the empty location search is made using
the location type and location size.
You can enter the location type as numerical value or as text depending on the particular
configuration.
