we get that on a 4 axis at work ,what happens is the optical sensors in the tool changer get layered with coolant and the tool changer gets hung up , try spraying some soapy water around any sensors near the atc and hopefully it will be an easy fix for you

If you have a legit question to post on the zone. You need to find the appropriate category to post your question in.

This is a test area, I believe that this will be automatically deleted after a certain amount of time.

I think I posted to a question you had last week about Siemens, now it no longer exist.

I cannot see check where the sensors are located in our ATC.We have 16 pocket ATC.Pls see the attached schematic drawing of our machine type.
