Hey out there,
In the shop I am in we have a puma 8hc turning center with a 12 tool tool changer. There was a crash the other day and when I was double checking everything i found that nothing was on center anymore. my question is, how do I adjust how far around the tool changer indexes so I can put all the tools back on center.
thanks
P.s. I apologize if I am not being clear enough. Not that good with explaining things
:confused:

What turret is fitted? In the UK the first Puma 8's had a Sauter or Sauter style turret fitted for live tooling. There are some 8mm capheads in the centre of the disc. These are not in a complete circle more a horseshoe with what looks like one bolthole missing. Crack these lose and pull the disc back to the centre. On a live tool disc you have to line the disc up to the tool drive spline that is visible through the disc in the working position rather than centre hieght or the live tool will not disengage properly.
