thanks for the info, i was using the slower auto way to load it. 2 Questions, can you explain how to use the touch off all tools button works. I have the ETS but am not sure how to set it up for the ATC to do run threw them all. also is there a way to move the Z down well the turret is in the load position? I need it in the load position to take measurements for a secondary spindle mount i want to make that will still work with the atc

Hi, thanks for the comments. To use the "Touch Off Entire Tray" button, plug the ETS into the accessory port and test communication by actuating the ETS by hand, and ensuring that the green Tool Setter LED on the ATC Control screen lights up. Center the Tool Setter directly under the spindle and click the “Touch Off Entire Tray” button on the ATC Control screen. The ATC will cycle through every tool in the tray and enter the measured tool length in the tool table. As for the second question, there is no way to move the spindle down in Z, while the ATC is in the tray load position.
