are left empty and a designator is added to the tool table.
Oversize (large)
tools are tools with a diameter of more than 4.9” (125mm)
.
To designate a large tool, scroll to highlight the specific pocket (the one that
holds the large tool) and press “L” and then the ‘WRITE/ENTER’ button. The
letter “L” will appear on the screen next to this pocket and the tool numbers on
either side will be changed to “-“ indicating that tools cannot be inserted into
these pockets.
To remove an ‘L’ designation, highlight the ‘L’ pocket and press the ‘SPACE’
button and then the ‘WRITE/ENTER’ button.
NOTE: Large tools cannot be bigger than 9.8” (250mm).
Heavy tools
Designating a tool as “Heavy” will have no affect on tool changer speed or ac
-
tions.
Installing/Removing Tools (hydraulic tool changer)
Tools can be installed into the tool changer by inserting them directly into the
pockets or by installing them into the spindle and using the ATC FWD/REV
buttons on the keypad to stow the tools in the tool changer. During initial setup,
using the ATC FWD/REV buttons, the first tool inserted into the spindle will be
tool T1 and will be placed into pocket 1.
To install them directly in the tool changer chain, turn switch on the operator’s
sub-panel to “Manual”, open the operator door (it is at the back of the tool
changer cage), and install the tool in the chain. Use the CW/CCW buttons to
move the chain to the next empty pocket. Remember to leave an empty pocket
on either side of a large tool.
Update the tool changer tool table once all the tools are installed.
Tools can be removed, by calling each tool to the spindle and removing them
from it, or by taking them directly from the chain at the operator station in the
tool cage. To remove tools from the chain, turn the switch to “Manual”, open the
tool-cage operator door, grasp the tool and press the foot pedal.
ATC FWD, ATC REV Operation (hydraulic tool changer)
Using ATC FWD/REV will cause the tool changer to move to the next tool
pocket with respect to the tool in the spindle. For example, if tool T15 is in the
spindle and it is dedicated to pocket 20, the tool changer will put tool T15 into
pocket 20 and then ATC FORWARD to pocket 21.
It will not retrieve tool 16
(T16).
The ATC FWD/REV buttons will change the tool, in the spindle, to the next or
previous tool. However, if the next, or previous, tool is a pocket designated with
a zero (an empty pocket) the tool changer will skip that pocket and get a tool
from a non-zero pocket.
