2019 Mazak 350 my Milling a rectangle

$

Hello, I want to mill a 2" X 1.75" rectangle on some parts in my 2019 Mazak 350 my. I tried using the X-Y process but I run out of y axis travel for some reason. I am wondering if I can do it using the X-C process and if so what information do I need to give it? Any help is appreciated. I can give my cell number if someone would rather call than message back and forth. Thank you in advance.

Tailstock programming

I have a qt28n with t32-2 controller. I have never implemented programming of the tail-stock. I am now in need of it. I understand the uses of m31 m32. However those machines had adjustable stops. This machine does not. Just two limit switches. How do i set and program the tail-body to move a certain distance in correlation of the part? I do know that not all are programmable, but was told this one can be programmed.

Mazak Fusion 640 LCD Screen problem

$

0
Hi Folks,
We have a problem on our recently aquired 1999 Fusion 640T powered QT250

The graphics / text is all over one side meaning soft key buttons don't line up, the LHS strip is not visable, leaving a 1" strip of blank screen top-bottom on the RHS.

Now if this was a CRT you would just tweak the horizonal position pot ! but it isn't.

It does it straight from boot up, long before the Windows OS loads, so i don't think its a windows control panel setting issue.

Is this a bios setting thing or some other way of fixing it ?

QT15 spindle motor pulley

Hey everyone - I'm in the middle of attempting to replace the (very) worn out bearings in the spindle motor of a '89 QT15. Next step is to remove the pulley from the motor shaft and I'm struggling.

I found one setscrew where the keyway is but haven't identified any others. I'm using a puller to try to separate the pulley, I've also tried heat to loosen it up to no avail.

Anyone have experience with this? Any tips (ie you missed a setscrew)?

Thanks!

Anyone know where I can purchase these small bulbs ? Someone already had the same idea and took the remaining good ones from the other less used buttons.

Does anyone have a programming manual for a FLEX-GL6 robot? I need to know how to use the teaching box and all I have is the original operating manual that doesn't explain much at all.

Anybody know the standard through spindle coolant pressure on a 510c II? Or what would be normal on other mazak mills?

Im looking to add TSC to a machine and trying to figure out what size pump I need. Used to run a 510c II and found the through coolant setup to be pretty good. Thanks.

Mitsubishi FR-SE spindle drive question

Hello to everyone,
First let me start by saying thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help with my problem. I've posted on here a few times before with issues that I've had with my machine and everyone has always answered with helpful advice and good suggestions. I own a 1986 Mazak QT10 with a T2 control and a FREQROL FR-SE-2-22K spindle drive, my problem is I was making a part when the machine gave two alarms #20 NMI emergency stop and and #204 spindle controller malfunction. I checked the spindle drive and there wasn't any lights on the power supply or the drive . It was completely dead. I called MEAU they sent me the procedures to check the drive and after following the procedures and talking to the Mitsubishi techs to confirm what I had found out,it was decided that my SE-PW power supply was bad. Just to be clear I have 220v on RO and SO that supplies the power to the power supply but the rest of the drive appears to be dead no led lights are lit on either board. I sent my power supply to Precision Zone and they confirmed that it was bad as well and rebuilt it and shipped it back to me. I put the rebuilt power supply back in the machine and same thing both alarms came on and none of the LED'S lights are lit on the spindle drive. Assuming the power supply is good my question is what am I missing? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Adding 4th axis to VCN mill

$

Looking at a VCN mill with Matrix control. It does not have a 4th axis and I would really like to have that option for the family of parts I want to run.
So a few questions.
Do the VCN mills typically come wired for a 4th axis? I would guess it doesn't have the drive for it either.
Any insight on what all is needed and involved to install a 4th?
Thanks

Parameter for origin

I am going to put in new ball screws in both Z axis on a Multiplex 6200Y with fusion 640T.
My ide is to take the current Z offset of tool 1 and after changing ball screw change the parameters to come as close to the same numbers as possible.
Will that give all programs the correct Z offsets?
What paramer should I change?

I"m trying to change to a ssd in my Qt250 Fusion. I have a formatted a 2Gb ssd. I formatted it in fat16. I cant get the bios to see it. I have changed the bios to auto detect and still nothing. I tried to put in user parameters but the cylinders stop at 1024. I'm thinking of partitioning the ssd to the 1024mb and see what happens. After I get the bios to read it..then I will be onto the cloning procedure. The current drive is a 2.1gb hdd. Machine is working fine and bios sees this drive properly.. I did a search but didnt get any specifics on the bios ?Any ideas? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

MAZATROL 640M Window Font Size

I have a Windows 95 Mazatrol 640M Fusion system that has some how had its Font size adjusted in just one of its display windows. Would someone be kind enough to share their wisdom on how to change this? The machine has been to multiple locations within the company so I do not have access to all of the manuals unfortunately. Also my training on this machine and control system is sadly limited to word of mouth from a previous employee who operated it regularly and is not longer here. I apologize for the lack of information and thank anyone for constructive responses in advance.

Is it one of the back doors I need to open to get to it, cause that seems out of the question.

Mazak VTC16C 4th axis interlock problem

$
0
0
Hi all,

I have recently bought a Mazak VTC16C with M32 control. It has a Golden Sun 4th axis.

There was a split air hose in the 4th axis which I understand is the brake. I have repaired the hose but I cant home 4th axis and when I try to use the hand wheel it throws a 128 Outside interlock message.

I have noticed that if I keep the air pressure off, the axis can home and operate as usual.

There is a pressure switch to ensure that the brake is off which is working correctly and if I keep it closed (as if there is no air) the axis works.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the problem,

Thanks in advanced
