ATCtab.
2. Select Tray Rev to rotate the tray counterclockwise
(backward) one full tool slot.
3. Verify that the tool’s shank is aligned with the collet in
the spindle.
4. Depending on the alignment, do one of the following:
l
Aligned You have completed aligning the ATC.
Remove the tool from the fork. Go to Step 5.
l
Not Aligned You must readjust the tool tray
rotation. Go to "Adjust the Tool Tray Load Position"
(page76).
5. From the PathPilot interface, on the Main tab, drag the
Maxvel Override slider to the left. This reduces the
maximum velocity by the percentage shown.
Figure 4-103: Maxvel Override slider on the Main tab.
6. Do a test tool change. Because the maximum velocity is
reduced, it's easier to verify the alignment of the ATC
and stop the machine if further adjustment is required.
Tip! Use the Spacebar key to pause the tool
change, if needed.
