I just bought a 1991 Haas VF-1 from a local machine shop. The only issue that was relayed to me was that the automatic tool changer drops tools occasionally (1 in every 5-10 changes). It drops the tools when they are released from the spindle and setting in the ATC forks. When it changes, I noticed that the cat 40 holders are not all the way into the fork of the ATC. The grooved area on the holder is lined up with the corresponding profile on the inside of the fork, but it is not all the way bottomed out; It it out almost the entire distance of the grooved area. I can easily push the holder all the way back into the fork, so I think it's aligned. Has anyone run into this problem? Any recommendations on what to look into? Thanks in advance!
