Tool change with tool management (option)

Tool management
The optional "Tool management" function ensures that at any given time the correct tool is in
the correct location and that the data assigned to the tool are up to date. It also allows fast tool
changes and avoids both scrap by monitoring the tool service life and machine downtimes by
using spare tools.
