Adjust for Rotational Play
There's a small amount of rotational play built into the Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) carousel. This play allows
for some misalignment during tool changes, and you must adjust for it in both directions. The taper on the tool
shank also helps align the tool during a tool change.
To adjust for rotational play:
1. From the PathPilot interface, on the ATC tab, select Tray Fwd to rotate the tray clockwise (forward) one full
tool slot.
Figure 39: Tray FWD and Tray REV buttons on the 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:
Aligned You have completed aligning the ATC. Remove the tool from the fork. Go to "Operation"

(page 37).
Not Aligned You must readjust the tool tray rotation. Go to "Adjust the Tool Tray Load Position"
