Before You Begin; Mounting The Atc - Tormach ATC Operator's Manual

2.2 Before You Begin

The Tormach Tooling System ATC is designed for machines
with the power drawbar (PN 31706) installed. PCNC 1100
milling machines with serial numbers 1325 and lower
will need to have the spindle drive upgrade (PN 31090)
installed before installing the ATC. PCNC 1100 machines
with serial numbers 999 and lower will also have to have
the Series 3 upgrade kit (PN 32010) installed before
installing the ATC.
All machines will need to have the power drawbar installed
before installing the ATC. See the power draw bar manual
(included with the power draw bar package and on the ATC
software CD) for power draw bar installation instructions.
PCNC 1100 machines serial numbers 1999 and lower will
need to replace the old DC Bus Board (PN 30661) with the
new bus board (PN 32005).

2.3 Mounting the ATC

Mounting and aligning the ATC to the mill is a job that is
best done with two people. The ATC carousel assembly,
which weighs approximately 50 pounds, is cumbersome to
lift and position accurately especially when working over
the mill's chip tray. Installation goes smoothly when one
person holds the ATC in position while an assistant tightens
the fasteners that connect it to the square tube mount.
Initial Hardware Installation
WARNING! SHUT THE COMPUTER
DOWN, THEN POWER DOWN THE MILL
USING THE ROTARY SHUTOFF SWITCH
ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE
CONTROL CABINET.
You may find installation easiest if you first pull the mill
away from the wall.
If fitted, remove the coolant hose and mount from the
spindle head.
If fitted, remove the left hand machine arm from the mill
column.
