Re: Down and out with tool changer fault code #113
Unless it is the slide door that is not opening, the shuttle should never hit the spindle at all. It goes to its physical limit just to get into tool change position. It is just an arm in a lot and always goes to the extreme one side to the other. The switches are just there to let the control know when it gets there and is in position.
That code is to let you know the shuttle did not get all the way in. Are you sure that you are just not noticing that the shuttle cover that opens to expose the tools when the shuttle comes in is just not opening. That is just a mechanical thing where the cover just rides a slot on top of the shuttle. Maybe it has slipped out of position and I have seen it happen. You might not notice what the real issue is if you don't pay attention.
