    Need Help With Tool Change Problem

    Hello All,

    I need some help with a tool change problem. While in the middle of a tool change an enclosure door opened and the safety interlock shut the machine down. The MT is an AMERI-SEIKI Cyclone1 with an O-MD control. the tool changer arm engaged both tools, dropped to the clearance position, started to rotate and halfway through its rotation the door opened. I was able to remove the tools but cannot get the arm reoriented or in its initial position. I have limited documentation from the MTB who will provide no help. I've tried all MDI options and power off / on to no avail. Can anyone help?

    Thanks.

    Dennis

    Hi There,

    Please disregard the previous request. We have bigger troubles than the tool changer.

    Thanks
