NOTE
:
The M50 pallet change must be successfully completed before normal
VMC operation can continue.
If the M50 pallet change is interrupted, software switches will not allow
normal VMC operation. Another M50 must be run to reset the switches. If
this puts the wrong pallet into the VMC then an additional M50 must be run.
The operator must exercise caution when running multiple M50 com-
mands to position pallets. The operator must be aware of incomplete
fixturing, tool, and personnel locations.
