Operation
5. Enter the tool number into SPNDL (spindle) on the Tool Pocket Table. Insert
the tool into the spindle.
NOTE: There cannot be two different tool pockets holding the same tool num
-
ber. Entering a tool number already displayed in the Tool Pocket table will result
in an “Invalid Number” error.
6. Enter P12 into the control and press ATC FWD. The tool will be placed into
pocket 12.
NOTE: Extra large tools can be programmed as well. An “Extra large” tool is
one that takes up three pockets; the diameter of the tool will cover the tool
pocket on either side of the pocket it is installed in. Change bit 3 of parameter
315 to 1, if a tool this size is needed. The tool table must be updated as now
two empty pockets are needed between extra large tools.
Umbrella Tool Changer
Tool Loading Tools are loaded into the umbrella tool changer by first loading the
tool into the spindle. To load a tool into the spindle, prepare the tool and then
follow these steps:
1. Ensure the tools loaded have the correct pull stud type for the mill.
2. Enter MDI mode.
3. Organize the tools to match to the CNC program.
4. Take tool 1 in hand and insert the tool (pull stud first) into the spindle. Turn
the tool so that the two cutouts in the tool holder line up with the tabs of the
spindle. Push the tool upward while pressing the Tool Release button. When
the tool is fitted into the spindle, release the Tool Release button.
5. Press the “ATC FWD” key.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 with the remaining tools until all the tools are loaded.
Umbrella Tool Changer Recovery
If the tool changer jams, the control will automatically come to an alarm state.
To correct this, push the Emergency Stop button and remove the cause of the
jam. Push the RESET button to clear the alarms. Push the Recover button and
follow the directions to reset the tool changer.
CAUTION! Never put your hands near the tool changer unless the EMERGENCY
STOP button is pressed first.
Side Mount Tool Changer Recovery
If a problem occurred during a tool change, a tool changer recovery needs to
be performed. Enter the tool changer recovery mode by pressing the Recover
button. Once in tool changer recovery mode, instructions are given and ques-
tions are asked to perform a proper tool changer recovery. The entire tool
changer recovery process must be completed before exiting. If the routine is
exited early the tool changer recovery must be started from the beginning.
