5.14 Recovering from a Tool Change Failure
PROCEDURE TO BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY
If the tool changer fails, you may get an alarm. This means that after 30 seconds of waiting, a function did not
receive its proper finish signal. At this point, do not E-stop or hit reset. This can cause a tool to drop and possibly
cause an injury to the operator.
• Locate the pneumatic solenoid for the carousel in/out function. You can do this by referring to the
pneumatic system decal and labeled air lines.
• Once the proper solenoid is located, lock the carousel in the “in” position by pushing in the blue switch and
turning it clockwise to keep it locked.
• At this point, the value of parameter 14512[2] will need to be reduced by 1. Use extreme caution as this will
allow the Z-axis to move freely with the ATC in the “in” position.
• Cycle power leaving the machine off for at least 30 seconds.
• Execute an M54 (drawbar on) to unclamp the tool from the spindle.
• The Z-axis can now be moved to the positive soft limit, clearing it from the tool in the tool changer.
• The solenoid can now be unlocked, which will return the carousel to the “out” position.
• Execute an M55 (drawbar off) to clamp the tool in the spindle
• At this point the tool bin locations are potentially compromised. Refer to Section 5.15 to reset the tool bin
locations.
• If there is a tool in the spindle and in the carousel and they crash into one another, hit E-stop to send the
carousel to the out position. Refer to Section 5.15 to reset the tool bin locations.
5.15 Tool Carousel HOME Position and Tool Bin# Reset
To reset all the tool bin locations, follow this procedure:
1. Remove the tool from the spindle
2. In MDI command: Type in M6T0 and press CYCLE START
3. Remove all new tools from the spindle
4. Go to command M61 to index the carousel to bin #1
5. Go to tool table and select the MAGAZINE function.
6. Select UNLOAD ALL to remove the tools from the table.
7. Now select TOOL LIST. At this point all the current tool definitions are still in the table. They moved to the
bottom below the highest tool number in your carousel.
8. You can now begin loading each tool definition up to the appropriate number that matches the physical
location of the tool in the carousel. Do this by selecting LOAD and selecting a location number.
