Tool Change time
How do I incorporate the tool change time into my cycle time? The machine has a magazine and it takes about 45 seconds to put the tool back and fetch the new one to the ready position. "Instantaneous" tool changes are not realistic.

Re: Tool Change time
The easiest way is to add a dwell time to your toolchange in VERICUT.
In the control:
a more involved method is to add a toolchain component to the machine, you can refer to vericut.usr for an example.
