2 Tool changer calibration
The following procedure is used to align the tool changer with the spindles to allow for
proper pickup and drop off of the tools into each of the 6 tool holder pockets. Auto tool
changer calibration automatically calibrates the tool changer using the Tool Holder
Calibration Fixture, the 2 Calibration Pins and the Calibrator with its cables.
Each Tool Holder Calibration Fixture has a controlled serial number, which the user will
enter when requested during the tool changer calibration process.
