If the automatic tool changer on your Okuma vertical or horizontal milling machine suddenly stops in the middle of changing a tool, there’s a quick and easy way to solve the problem. 

Why would the system stop in the middle of the process? Chances are the interruption is caused by hitting the reset button in the middle of a tool change or trying to change the mode while a cycle is in progress. 

Regardless of the cause, you want to resume production as soon as possible.
