Warning!
Retention knobs come in a wide variety of designs, however they often look similar and appear to
be interchangeable, but they are not. Use only the knob that the 2 OP mill is designed to use.
The use of the incorrect knob, or the incorrect use of a knob, may result in injury and/or damage
to the mechanism.
2.4.5 Tool Changer (Carrier)
The tool changer is an 8 station mechanism that is actuated along the Y axis. It is hidden from
view while the machine is cutting. The ATC mechanism slides forward on the Y axis linear guides
and is actuated via an air cylinder.
2.4.6 Drive Train, Axes
Each axis (X, Y and Z) rides on precision linear guideways, with four preloaded recirculating ball
carriages. Each axis is moved via a 6 mm pitch ballscrew. The axis motors drive each axis via a
timing belt except on the Z axis where it is directly driven.
2.4.7 Worktable
The 2 OP table utilizes Ball Lock® technology as well as conventional T-bolt construction. Each
Ball Lock mechanism has a hold-down force of 2250 lbs when 35 in/lbs of torque is applied to the
screw. The software on the 2 OP mill allows the user to save the X and Y location of your
program relative to the lower left hand corner ball lock. See the programming manual for more
information. There ar e 4 ball lock receivers mounted in the table and they are separated by 12”.
The front 2 ball lock receivers are to be used to locate your fixture and the rear two are for
clamping purposes.
