I am told that it is not possible to assign tools to specific magazine locations on this machine.
Anyone have another opinion? Thanks.

I havent run a Doosan/Fanuc but I have run many others. The Pocket are updated as the tool change is a tool swapper. So to be most efficient you are getting correct tool but putting in random pockets. So I was taught and I teach - you load tools thru spindle always with correct tool # and the CNC will keep track of the rest. The only issues are if you have a large tool then the pockets next to it need to be empty. that one will always go back in same pocket.
I do not pay attention to where the tools are in the magazine. Do have a specific reason for needing designated pockets?
Thanks Ed. We fixed the issue by replacing the operator who did not live up to his claims. Our new operator has everything under control and agrees with your input.
