Operation
If the cage door is opened while a tool change is in progress, the tool change
will stop and not resume until the cage door is closed. However, any machining
operations that are in progress will continue.
If the switch is turned to “Manual” while a tool change is in progress, current
tool changer motion will be completed. The next tool change will not execute
until the switch is turned back to “Auto”. Any machining operations that are in
progress will continue.
The carousel will rotate one position whenever the CW or CCW button is
pressed once, while the switch is set to “Manual”
During tool changer recovery, if the cage door is open or the switch is in the
“Manual” position and the Recover button is pressed, a message is displayed
telling the operator the door is open or is in manual mode. The operator must
close the door and set the switch to the automatic position in order to continue.
