Installation Checklist
31. Close the door and make sure the control recognizes the door as being closed when in
production ops. When the door is open a DOOR OPEN message should be on the screen
when in DRO mode. It goes away when the door is closed.
In tool room ops, there should be no DOOR OPEN message since you can run with the door
open.
Press the DOOR LOCK button to enable the door lock, powerfeed an axis and make sure the
door is locked when the machine is moving
while in production ops.
32. Press the manual tool change button on the head (GREEN button) and make sure air is
coming down through the spindle. Adjust as required.
Put a tool in the spindle and verify the tool clamps once the green button is released.
33. Move the ATC completely around all 16 stations using the ATC LOC # button in the tool
table. The door must be closed and you must be in Production Ops. Also make sure the ATC
is rotating in the correct direction.
34. Double check the tool change height with service code 501. Once verified, check to make
sure that the tools load and unload properly into the tool carousel, the tool should not deflect
as the tool is being loaded automatically into the spindle
35. Physically load a tool in and out of the carousel to make sure the orientation angle and
tool change height are correct. This can be done by assigning a library tool to the ATC. Use
CALL TOOL to bring it back to the spindle.

pressure. There should be a warning message on the screen.
