2501 ATC 1 POCKET NOT EMPTY
The carousel pocket sensor has detected a tool in what should be an empty toolchanger pocket. If pocket is empty
check sensor alignment or sensitivity. If pocket contains a tool then home the toolchanger and empty the spindle.
2502 ATC 1 NO TOOL IN POCKET
The carousel pocket sensor did not detect a tool in the toolchanger pocket before the toolchange. If a toolholder
was in the carousel pocket and was loaded into the spindle, check the sensor for alignment or sensitivity. If the
pocket of the commanded toolchange was empty (Example: dry run test of the toolchanger) then just RESET the
alarm and continue.
2503 ATC 1 DRAWBAR STATE FAULT
One or more spindle drawbar sensors (internal to the spindle) did not read properly. Check toolholder for proper
seating in the spindle. Check for chips or debris inside HSK toolholder. Perform the HSK Clamp-Set Maintenance
if needed. Possible drawbar sensor failure - contact Customer Service.
2504 ATC 1 SHROUD FAILED TO OPEN

spindle is braking to a stop when commanded - if the spindle goes into a ‘coast’ it can take minutes before it stops.
Spindle braking should occur within 5 to 6 seconds or sooner when commanded to stop (M05 or S0).
2507 ATC 1 EXTEND CAROUSEL- EXTEND SW FAILURE
The proximity switch that detects the carousel slide did not detect the carousel in the extended position (under the
spindle). Check proximity switch for proper operation and/or check position of carousel slide. Possible causes
could be a bad air valve, bad retract/extend air cylinder, bad proximity switch or the proximity switch is too far from
the carousel. Carousel should be positioned directly under the spindle - a fraction of an inch too far or not far
enough can cause toolchanger crash.
2508 ATC 1 EXTEND CAROUSEL- RETRACT SW FAILURE
The retract proximity switch that detects the carousel slide is reading when it should not be; check for faulty sensor
or faulty wiring.
2509 ATC 1 DRAWBAR UNCLAMP FLT
The drawbar extended sensor (internal of the spindle) did not read when the drawbar was actuated. Possible
causes could be a bad air valve, faulty spindle drawbar sensor, loose wire for drawbar sensor or faulty sensor
alignment.
2510 ATC 1 TOOL NOT RAISED
The top sensor on the 3 position air cylinder is not reading; check for proper setting or faulty sensor. The sensors
on the air cylinder are sometimes referred to as a ‘reed switch’. They sense a magnetic field - the piston inside the
air cylinder contains a magnet. To test the sensor place a magnet in front fo the sensor - the LED (if supplied with
one) on the sensor should illuminate. If air cylinder is not in the proper position check air valve.
2511 SPINDLE WARM-UP O9100 REQUIRED BEFORE OPERATING IN AUTO MODE
The spindle has been idle for 6 or more hours; you must run the spindle warm up program - O9100. The spindle
warm-up program is recommended by the spindle manufacturer to prolong bearing life.
2512 ATC 1 DRAWBAR NOT CLAMPED
The drawbar sensors (internal of the spindle) are not sensing a toolholder; both the “Retracted w/tool” & “Retracted”
sensors must read when a toolholder is in the spindle. Possible causes could be an improperly seated toolholder,
bad air valve, faulty spindle drawbar sensor, loose wire for the drawbar sensor or faulty sensor alignment.
2513 ATC 1 RETRACT CAROUSEL - RETRACT SW FAILURE
The proximity switch that detects the carousel slide did not detect the carousel in the retracted position (away from
the spindle). Check proximity switch for proper operation and/or check position of carousel slide. Possible causes
could be a bad air valve, bad retract/extend air cylinder, bad proximity switch or the proximity switch is too far from
the carousel.
2514 ATC 1 RETRACT CAROUSEL - EXTEND SW FAILURE
The extend proximity switch that detects the carousel slide is reading when it should not be; check for faulty sensor
or faulty wiring.
2516 ATC 1 BATTERY ALARM
The backup battery on toolchanger amplifier (Beta Amplifier) #1 is low; change as soon as possible to avoid losing
home position.

Be sure that the panel power is on when changing batteries. Loss of home position will result if
batteries are removed without power on the Beta Amplifier.

2704 ATC 3 TOOL NOT DOWN
The bottom sensor on the 3 position air cylinder is not reading; check for proper setting or faulty sensor. The
sensors on the air cylinder are sometimes referred to as a ‘reed switch’. They sense a magnetic field - the piston
inside the air cylinder contains a magnet. To test the sensor place a magnet in front fo the sensor - the LED (if
supplied with one) on the sensor should illuminate. If air cylinder is not in the proper position check air valve.
2705 ATC 3 4TH AXIS POSITION FAULT
