If the rod is perpendicular to the vertical edge of the
machinist's square, go to "Examine Perpendicularity in the
l
If the rod must be adjusted, go to Step 2.
2. Loosen the flange nuts on the standoffs.
3. Turn the tilt standoff with an adjustable wrench, and slowly
pivot the ATC until the rod is perpendicular to the vertical
edge of the machinist's square.
Figure 2-21: Tilt standoff.
4. Tighten the flange nuts with a 13 mm socket.
5. Reexamine the alignment of the ATC in the Y direction. If the
rod isn't perpendicular to the vertical edge of the machinist's
square, repeat Steps 2 through 5.
Examine Perpendicularity in the X Direction
1. Verify that the rod is perpendicular to the machine table in
the X direction: compare the rod's position to the vertical edge
of the machinist's square.
l
If the rod is perpendicular to the vertical edge of the
machinist's square, go to "Examine the Alignment of the
Carousel Door Opening" (below).
l
If the rod must be adjusted, go to Step 2.
2. Loosen the two socket head cap screws on the linear rails.
Figure 2-22: Socket head cap screws on the linear rails.
3. Slowly pivot the linear rails up or down until the rod is
perpendicular to the vertical edge of the machinist's square.
4. Tighten the socket head cap screws.
5. Reexamine the alignment of the ATC in the X direction. If the
rod isn't perpendicular to the vertical edge of the machinist's
square, repeat Steps 2 through 5.
Examine the Alignment of the Carousel Door Opening
1. Remove the tool holder from the fork, and set it aside.
Note:
You'll need this tool later in the installation
procedure to make further alignments.
2. Power on the machine and the PathPilot controller.
a. Turn the Main Disconnect switch to
ON
on the side of the
electrical cabinet.
b. Twist out the Emergency Stop button on the operator
panel, which enables movement to the machine axes and
the spindle.
c. Press the Reset button on the operator panel.
d. Bring the machine out of reset and reference it.
3. Verify that the ATC is all the way forward (toward the
spindle), and then slowly move the Z-axis down (-Z) to
examine the clearance of the carousel door opening.
4. Verify that the carousel door opening is approximately equal
to the front back and left of the spindle mounting flange:

If the carousel door opening is approximately equal, go to
Step 8.
