Adjusting the Tool Tray Load Position

If the spindle is not centered over the fork in the X 

direction, you must manually adjust the position of 

the ATC assembly on the linear rails.

1. 

From the ATC’s linear rail, loosen the jam nut 

(see 

Figure 24

).

2. 

Slide  the  coupler  to  bring  the  ATC  assembly 

closer  to  the  spindle  head  or  further  away 

from the spindle head (see 

Figure 24

).

3.  After  the  ATC’s  carousel  door  opening 

is  positioned  correctly  with  the  spindle, 

 

re-tighten the jam nut.

Adjusting the Tilt of the ATC

1. 

Insert a dowel — no more than 8 inches long — into a TTS tool holder.

2. 

Insert the tool holder into the fork (see 

Figure 25

). Make sure the groove in the tool holder slides along 

the shoulder on the fork.

NOTE: 

Do not rest the tool holder on top of the fork.

3.  From the PathPilot interface, on the 

ATC

 tab, type 

1

 in the 

Tool Number

 DRO field (see 

Figure 26

).

4. 

Click the 

Insert 

button (see 

Figure 26

).
