PDC (Punch Die Changer) / ATC (Automatic Tool Changer)
The software supports a machine type that is a subcomponent of the Amada Vipros Machine: the Punch Die Changer or PDC. You define the parameters for this machine type as you would for a punching machine. The difference is the tool storage. Whereas a punching machine uses the Tool Inventory to store tools, a PDC machine uses the PDC to store tools. The first step is to load a machine setup and driver that support the PDC system. (See Machine File.)

If an Amada Acies machine is in use, then the ATC icon appears instead of the PDC. The ATC Storage user interface functions in basically the same way as the PDC.
