18. Determine if the tray must move left or right. Use two
wrenches to loosen the jam nut on the end of the cylinder rod,
making sure that you don't spin the rod end when adjusting
the jam nut. Then, either turn the rod end one-half turn
further on to the cylinder rod to move the tool tray to the left,
or turn it one-half turn off of the cylinder rod to move the tool
tray to the right. Once finished, tighten the jam nut.
Figure 2-19: Moving the tool tray left or right.
Note:
Don't move the tool tray more than 0.100 in. in
either direction (left or right). If you do, the tool tray
will exceed the Tray In sensor, which affects how
ATC operations are communicated to PathPilot.
19. Adjust for the ATC's backlash: apply light pressure forward
and backward on the carousel; then, from the PathPilot
interface, on the
ATC
tab, select
++
or
--
until there's equal
space on the front and the back of the BT30 taper.
20. Verify that, from the
Status
tab, the
ATC Tray In
LED is still
illuminated.
If the LED isn't illuminated, examine the tool tray. It may have
exceeded the Tray In sensor during adjustments in the
previous step.
21. Repeat adjustments until the tool's shank is concentric with
the collet in the spindle.
22. Move the Z-axis up: in the
MDI Line
DRO field, type
G20 G53
G1 Z0 F20
. Then select the
Enter
key.
23. Remove the tool from the ATC. Then, select
Retract
.
