Measuring Tool Length
When using the Titan Automatic Tool Changer system, the operator must make sure they have
the following variables set:
Table Zero
Tool Lengths / offsets
Setting the Table Zero
Use the Z-axis directional arrows to move the tip of the router bit to the bottom of the material
tocut,thislocationisalsoequivalenttothetopofyoursacricalspoilboard.SwitchtoJog
Increment Mode to slowly step the machine into position.
Oncethebitisinposition,usethe“SetTableZero”buttontosetthislocationastheZoriginfor
the Tool Changer.
NOTE: Make sure your material is safely and properly secured. If you are using a vacuum
pump, make sure the vacuum is on BEFORE setting table zero.
About The Automatic Tool Measuring Cycle
WhenusingtheAutomaticToolchanger,theoperatormustsetthe“TableZero”(typicallytopof
spoilboard)rstandthenmeasurethetoollengths.
Ifforanyreason,thesurfaceofthe“tablezero”changes,thenthisprocessmustberepeated,
including the re-measuring of the tool lengths.
Thismeansthatwheneverthespoilboardissurfacedorreplaced,the“TableZero”andTool
lengths must be relearned.
Notes about Tool Changing
The tool change process has many checks to ensure that the machine will perform properly and
not cause damage to itself, the tools, or the operator.
These checks include:
Air Pressure (90-120 psi)
Spindle Status
Chuck Status
Shroud Position
Incaseatoolchangestallsorfails,makesurethattheseaboverequirmentsarechecked.
