MachineTool
MachineTool — the machine-side of CNC milling / turning centres. Ten enums for tool/spindle state, no DTOs at this level (operational content lives in CNC + CuttingTool). Pulls Machinery + IA + DI.
OPC UA companion specification for machine tools — milling machines, lathes, machining centres viewed from the mechanical side (vs CNC, which is the controller side). Defines tool magazines, spindle assemblies, axes, monitoring.

Notable enums
The 10 enums describe tool-life, monitoring, and operational state specific to machine tools:
ToolLifeStateEnum— tool-life classificationToolHolderStateEnum— installed / removed / faultedAxisStateEnum,SpindleStateEnum— mechanical stateMonitoringLevelEnum— vibration / wear / load monitoring
Loaded by
- CuttingTool — tool-life records
- LaserSystems — laser-equipped machines
- MetalForming — forming machines extend the same base
