Customizing tool carrier templates with ToolHolderWizard

 
Tip

Many tool carriers only differ from others in terms of their dimensions, but their geometric shape is identical. HEIDENHAIN provides ready-to-use tool carrier templates for downloading. Tool carrier templates are 3D models with fixed geometries but editable dimensions.

They can be downloaded through the following link:

If you need further tool carrier templates, please contact your machine manufacturer or third-party vendor.

If you would like to use a CFX or CFT file, you need to parameterize the tool carrier template (i.e., to define the required dimensions). The tool carrier templates can be parametrized in the ToolHolderWizard window.
