    tool changer return question

    Maybe its just me, but sometimes its seems that when the tool changer goes back to home it slams back to the stops and sometimes its doesn't.
    Is there a switch or sensor that tells the tool changer to slow up when it gets close to home? its only occasionally

    The tension of the belt and spring will affect this banging. A loose belt or a stressed belt will cause banging.
