Detailed tool loading and automatic tool changer information is
included in Section 3 of your Owner’s Manual. This addendum describes
additional safety features and the tool changer error detection and
reporting system.
While the Z-axis is involved in changing a tool with the tool magazine
under the spindle, the Rapid Traverse rate is set to a maximum of 100
IPM. (The parameter page may be used to set the rapid traverse less
than 100 IPM.)
The microcomputer tests the various electrical sensors and limit
switches to determine what state the tool changer is in. If, during
tool changer operation, the microcomputer detects an incorrect state
or state change, an EMERGENCY STOP condition will result with the
message " TOOL CHANGER ERROR nn ". " nn " is an error code, which
indicates the reason for the Emergency Stop Condition. This two-digit
error code, in almost all cases, identifies the particular limit
switch.

This page covers the following codes
>> 84 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 25 27 06 07 26 <<
ERROR CODE: 84
" Arm back " not detected, or both " arm front " and " arm back " was
detected.
1) Checked when axis is calibrated, jogged or moving in the auto
program mode.
2) Checked when spindle manual control is exercised.
3) Checked in auto tool changer mode.
ERROR CODE: 60
The current tool number is zero (0) and there is a tool in the
spindle.
ERROR CODE: 61
There is a tool in the tool magazine at the current tool number
location.
ERROR CODE: 62
During a tool change while the Z-axis is moving, the spindle must be
unclamped or the error code is displayed.
ERROR CODE: 63
Once the "shot pin" solenoid is energized during a tool change, a
check for the "shot pin in" limit switch is made for the rest of the
tool change. If this limit switch is not seen, the error code is
displayed.
ERROR CODE: 64
While moving the tool magazine arm in to "get a tool" or "put a tool"
in the spindle, during tool change, a check is made for the
"magazine-in-position" switch. If not detected, the error code is
displayed.
ERROR CODE: 65
(Applies to the MB - 1H only.)
Before the "shot pin" solenoid is energized, an orientation speed
check is made to determine if the speed is less than 60 RPM.
1) Checks for spindle reference input.
2) Checks for spindle speed less than 60 RPM.
* Any of the above can cause the error to be displayed.
ERROR CODE: 66
Before the "shot pin" solenoid is energized, a check for the drive
monitor signal (DM) is made. If not detected, the error code is
displayed.
ERROR CODE: 67
While the tool magazine arm is in (front), a check for the "arm in"
limit switch is made during any Z-axis movement. If not seen, the
error code is displayed.
ERROR CODE: 68
If the tool magazine is requested to rotate and no rotation takes
place, the error code will be displayed.
ERROR CODE: 69
If the tool magazine is rotating and a non - sequential tool number is
detected, the error code will be displayed.
Each time a normal tool change function is performed, a check for that
function's limit switch is performed. If not detected, one of the
following errors will occur.
ERROR CODE: 25
"Shot pin" in; "Shot pin" out; Same limit switch.
ERROR CODE: 27
Drive monitor (DM) off.
ERROR CODE: 06
Arm pivot in.
ERROR CODE: 07
Arm pivot out.
ERROR CODE: 26
Spindle "clamp;" Spindle "unclamp;" Same limit switch.
