    "CHIRP" at tool change

    Hi guys
    Im sure someone has experienced this.
    When my Fadal goes to a tool change it makes a high pitch chirp.
    It seems to do it when the tool clamps
    I have taken the tool out and just manually press and depress the Tool in / out button and it makes this chirp.
    Look forward to your reply

    Kinda sounds like the muffler has been removed from the valve on the drawbar assembly.

    Sounds like it is the Muffler on the tool in/out piston. if the muffler was removed it sounds like a .22 caliber revolver being shot

    Running fine as I have lowered it to 80-90
