Arrow 500 tool changer heigth

[Lefty1961]

I just got my machine back together a few weeks ago and started to learn how to use it . Everrything alines ok and the tool changer works except when I try to unload a tool from the spindle and the tool drum retracks the tool falls on to the table I have repeated this several times and it seems that Z is not down far enough looks to be about .050 to heigh and the tool does not set back in the changer properly the command postion is at 16.230 anyone know how to corrcst this.

What control is on your Arrow 500?
It matters.

The Parameter is in Machine application window.
It may be the alignment position which has changed. Again this can be overcome with a trim value.
I will send you more information tomorrow as I am off site now.

I'm not saying it is or isn't, but .05 is not much, I would think the drawbar could compensate for that little bit. Will the spindle hold a tool in manual mode?
