When the VMc door gives you trouble .go ahead and correct it .
But see that you dont correct it properly..this will ensure that the Door is not easy to slide shut ( The left door).
when the night shift operator ( he's the most likely one) gets irritated ,He will give vent his frustration on the sticky door, and give it an almighty heave.
This will cause the rollers to slip out of the slideway and make the door fall on to the Tool changer.
Now the sheet metal cover will bend just enough to push down on to the pull stud of the tool.
(here you must ensure that the carousel if full of tools at the front of the machine so that the chances of this happening increases).
If you have done all of the above in the correct sequence then .LO ! you have a bent carousel plate . If you are lucky ,you can also get a hairline crack ensuring that you can never again use about three tool pockets
( this is the first in a series ....more to follow !)
Look out !
Better luck to all of you with sticky doors !
