6. Put the ATC mounting bracket on the standoff's threaded

studs as shown in the following image.

Figure 2-5: ATC mounting bracket moving on to the four

standoffs.

Note:

Make sure that the tilt standoff's eccentric

cam fits into the large slot on the ATC mounting

bracket.

7. Secure the bracket by reinstalling the washers and flange nuts

that you removed in Step 2 with a 13 mm socket.

8. Pull the bracket toward the front of the machine. You'll make

adjustments to the location of the bracket later in this

procedure, but we recommend starting with it moved

forward.

Install the Main Assembly

1. Remove the four provided M8 × 1.25 - 16 mm socket head cap

screws and washers from the bottom of the ATC electrical

cabinet. Then, set all aside for later use.

CAUTION!

Team Lift Required: You must have the

aid of more than one person to lift and move the

object. The object is heavy, and lifting it by yourself

can cause serious injury.

2. Lift the ATC main assembly on to the mounting bracket.

Figure 2-6: ATC main assembly positioned above the

mounting bracket.

3. Align the locating pin on the ATC main assembly with the

matching hole in the mounting bracket.

4. Secure the ATC main assembly to the mounting bracket with

the four M8 × 1.25 - 16 mm socket head cap screws and

washers that you set aside in Step 1.

Level the Automatic Tool Changer (ATC)

This section gives instructions to roughly level the ATC on the

machine by using a long, straight rod. More adjustments are made

later in the installation procedure.

NOTICE!

After the initial installation, you must level the ATC. If

you don't, there's a risk of machine damage.

Complete the following steps in the order listed:

Prepare the Machine

5

Examine Perpendicularity in the Y Direction

6

Examine Perpendicularity in the X Direction

6

Examine the Alignment of the Carousel Door Opening

7

Prepare the Machine

1. Push the tool tray toward the spindle.
