Error Messages Relating to the ATC
The following is the list of error messages that the ATC might generate:
Error
Number
Error Message
124
The spindle did not orient correctly. Please use service code 510 to double check that the
spindle is orientating to the correct position vs the position that’s commanded.
126
The spindle is in the unclamped position and needs to be clamped to proceed.
The
unclamp limit switch is detecting that the tool clamping mechanism is still in the
unclamped state, this might occur when a tool is being called, but it is not clamped in the
spindle. In this state if the ATC was to move, the tool could be dropped on the table.
127
The spindle is in the clamped position and needs to be unclamped to proceed.
The clamp
limit switch is detecting that the tool clamping mechanism is still in the clamped state,
this might occur when a tool has been returned to the tool carousel, but is still clamped in
the spindle. In this state if the Z axis was to move, the tool gripper in the ATC could be
damaged.
128
The ATC carousel was unable to find its home position.
This likely occurs if the home
position sensor is not functioning properly, or the home position stud is not set properly.
See Section 4.4.1
129
The ATC IN vs OUT location has become unknown, and you must use code 513 to re-
home the ATC. If problem persists, check that air pressure is available and ATC limit
switches are functioning properly.
130
The ATC carousel is unable to rotate position because of some obstruction or Z axis
position error. If you were mid tool change when this error occurred, then use service
code 513 to reset the ATC.
131
The ATC timed-out moving IN to the tool change location. Check air pressure and the
ATC limit switch functionality. If you were mid tool change when this error occurred, then
use code 513 to reset the ATC.
137
The ATC is unable to move in because there is currently a tool in the spindle and one in
the carousel location.
This message appears whenever the tool detect sensor detects that
there is a tool in a location of the tool carousel where the tool in the spindle is being
commanded to call or return.
138
The ATC is trying to unclamp the spindle but the spindle is still in motion. This message
appears when the system detects any amount of velocity from the spindle. The system
will not allow the spindle to unclamp under this condition.
139
The ATC carrier is trying to move but the air pressure is too low. Check air pressure and
make sure it is set to the correct amount. If you were mid tool change when this error
occurred, then use service code 513 to reset the ATC.
143
The ATC carousel received a false trigger from the counter sensor. Check that the
counter sensor is clean of debris, then try re-homing the ATC using service code 513. See
Section 4.4.2
144
The ATC counter sensor is detecting that the carousel is not in location properly. Please
use code 513 to reset the ATC. If problem persists, check that the carousel is in location
properly, and that the ATC counter sensor is functioning properly. See Section 4.4.2
150
System has timed out waiting for the ATC Counter Sensor to change state. Confirm that
ATC Carousel is moving. Then check to make sure that the ATC Counter Sensor is free of
any oil or debris and retry. Use code 513 to reset the ATC. See Section 4.4.2
