I have a 2008 Haas Super Mini Mill with an umbrella style tool changer.
The machine started giving me errors today indicating that the tool changer was not going all the way Right ( which would be the home position )
I took the cover off the tool changer and got everything cleaned up and got all the chips out and verified that the tool changer was moving in and out freely when I moved it by hand.
I noticed the sensor that indicates that it's all the way in was still lit.
So I assumed it may be a bad sensor, but when I put a piece of metal in front of it the sensor light goes off.
So doing some more digging I noticed the small metal plate that slides in front of the 2 sensors looks to be out of position. ( when the tool changer is all the way in that metal plate doesn't go in front of the In sensor )
The bolt that holds it appears to be tight.... but it still must of got slid out of position.
So my question is.... how to adjust that plate to the correct location?
Would I just move the tool changer all the way in so it's can move any more, and then start moving that metal plate just to the point that the sensor light goes out?
I've attached a photo..... but it's really hard to get a good photo in that tight place.
I'm kind of in a bind here with my machined down.... so any help would be appreciated....
Thank You!
