12.5 EXTRACTOR FORK REPLACEMENT
NOTE: Extractor forks that do not hold the tool holders firmly, or forks that are bent, must be replaced. Damage to the
ATC will result if not replaced.
1. With no tool holders in the spindle or in the ATC, command "ATC FWD" until the extractor fork needing replacement
is facing the spindle.
2. Command "ATC FWD" again, but press the EMERGENCY STOP after the spindle head lifts up off the carousel
NOTE: At this point, the shuttle should be in and the spindle should be about 4½" above the carousel.
3. Loosen the SHCS that attach the damaged extractor fork to the ATC carousel.
