a tool in the carousel in front of the sensor, adjust the pot on the sensor counterclockwise until the LED
turns green which means no tool detected, then turn the pot clockwise until the LED just turns orange
then continue clockwise no more than 1/8 of a turn. The sensor LED should be orange. Now test the
adjustment by commanding the carousel to rotate 1 position to either side of tool change position to
verify the sensor sees the tool when it is in tool change position a
nd it doesn’t see the tool when it is not
in tool change position. See figures 4.4.3a and 4.4.3b. See section 6.2
for replacement instructions.
The angle of the tool detects sensor bracket (20°) is designed to cast a beam that is as perpendicular as
possible to the angle of the tapered shank of the CAT40 tool holder.
