Hi All,
I'm having a programming problem with my machine. It's a QT-8 SP with a T-2 control. I won't let me program more than one line in a program. I entered a small program straight out of a Mazak programming manual, except for converting the dimensions to inches. Attached are pictures of the program. It had only 5 lines. If there are any more than 1 line I get an "illegal cutting point" error. I started with the 5 lines and erased one line at a time to see if the error would go away. It didn't go away until there was just 1 line left. I used the example from the manual just to see if what I was originally trying to input was way off. I thought it just wouldn't let program a taper.

Anyone know which card in the control the geometry is generated from? Or any other logical step I could take to track this problem down. It had been working okay until a couple of days ago. Of course it never quits working until you really need it not to! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mazak SQT 15 MSY Dual Spindle TPlus- Coolant Button and Mf1

I have a 1995 SQT MSYii with a T-plus control. I had some training over the weekend which got me up to speed some more on the controller. However the person instructing me noticed a couple things that he wasn't sure if it's just a Tplus thing or maybe a parameter turned off.


There is a COOLANT BUTTON next to the MACHINE button which does not seen to do anything when pressed. He seemed to think it takes you to a coolant menu. I want to find out if that is the case or if the button is no good or if it's turned off in the control.

The AUTO coolant button works if you program an M8, but you can't just turn the coolant on/off manually in AUTO mode is that normal? Not in Auto the manual coolant works fine.

There is also a button call MF1 which also doesn't turn on. He mentioned that you need to press MF1 at the same time a MACHINE to get into the machine menu. However I can just press MACHINE and it goes right into that menu.

Just want to get a sense if it's a keypad membrane issue or something like parameters.

Hope someone can help, thanks

G'day all,
another problem for you all. I have been repairing the tool setter on my H400 which didn't work at all. New solenoid and fix broken wire got it all opening and closing as it should. Next problem was decelleration malfunction so replaced the proxy and fixed that. Next problem was the skip proxy always on and giving a skip error so replaced that and new proxy works fine but I get alarm 253 skip signal malfunction. I can see the led come on on the proxy but obviously not doing what it should at the other end. The only parameter I found was K52 (I think} and tried a few different combos on that but no different. I'm not sure wether that parameter relates to the tool setter or the touch probe. The parameter explanations I have stop at page 2 of the machine parameters so I have no idea what the other 4 pages of machine parameters do. Any ideas where to go from here or does anyone have a pdf copy of the parameter explanations I am missing?. I know enough about electronics for basic stuff but the ladder stuff is over my head as never been shown how to read it.


Thanks again

Hi all,

need some help here on pointing me in the right direction.
So I got this CAM T3 control on my QT10N, and out of a sudden it begans working erratically.

You turn on the machine, nothing wrong, no errors. You can home the machine, move the axes, but:

If I try to move the tail body back, it moves the tail body back AND begins to change the tools AND switches C axis. What the heck.
If I move the tail body forward, than it is working fine.

Ok, check the tailstock:
Move tailstock back, tailstock is moving back, AND Milling or Main spindle starting depending on position.
Moving tailstock forward no noticable errors.

On undeterminable switches it randomly drops rapid speeds to zero, rises spindle speed, switches to jog mode, and maybe some other things I have not noticed.

What can cause such an error ?

I have checked the voltages, they are some 11.05-11.15Volts on the control panel switches seems to be OK. (On the power supply it is 11.95V) On the encoder I can read 11.95V as well. All other voltages were well within range.
I have replaced some of the elco capacitors, but testing them afterwards showed good capacity, so this work was unneccessary.

So what can be the problem? Where should I begin to search on? Thanks everyone.

Hey!

As the title suggest, would it be possible to change hardware in the SmoothX controller?

We constantly run into problems regarding high CPU load. The machine is laggy, and it's very frustrating to work with when you know which
button to press but it doesn't appear until 0.5 sec later than it should and you end up pressing the wrong button. I guess it's because it uses
3D model to simulate whatever you program, but because of bad CPU it tends to freeze up. Idle load on the CPU is 80%, and usually at full load under use.
Also, if the part contains several features it becomes so laggy you can't even operate it "normally", meaning you can't read off positioning coordinates
reliably as they only get updated ones every 1 - 1.5 seconds. Whereas the older machines (Matrix/Smart) the numbers are probably refreshed at the same
hertz as the monitor is. Our solution is to split programs in two, while in reality this should not be an issue!

We talked with our retailer and they said it would be impossible because of unknown reasons. We're really tempted to just buy a new CPU and put it in and see what happens.

It's unreal how a 1'000'000$ machine uses a 80$ CPU, rendering it useless for anyone with some standards :angry:

I am still learning the ins and outs of the TPlus control on my lathe. Right now I have a simple mazatrol program that is doing an outside bar operation. It is machined down from 2.0" stock to 1.50" diameter with 0.025" depth of cut. My question is with regards to the POSITION display onscreen. If I have to make a wear offset adjustment in the X dimension lets say +0.005" the readout as it is cutting shows the X POSITION at 1.505" even though I am cutting at 1.500" with the corrected wear offset. Is there a way to not have the control include the offset number in the POSITION display and only show the COMMANDED position of 1.500" with the control handling whatever wear offset is asked of it. On my Fanuc if I add a wear offset to a tool the COMMANDED position will still show as 1.500". Wondering if this just standard with this type of mazak tplus control or if there is a parameter to not display the offset position relative to the commanded cut position.

Every time we use the tailstock and use TPC, we are getting an over travel alarm at tool change. We have to reset, and index to the next used tool, then do a program restart at that unit.

Hello everyone.
We have a Quick turn 15 with T2 control.
Our problem is that every two days or 3 the measurements move 12 mm.
I would like to know if there is any parameter to fix
Thanks in advance

I am getting Alarm 2 SERVO LAG EXCESS

The machine had a time lag in following on the Z-axis
in excess of specified value in relation to the motion command.

also servo has a 55 code

Is this something in the parameters I had to reinstall
Is it an encoder problem
Is the drive or motor at fault.

Just a question that I've thought about for a while. Are the options on M32 controller extra microchips or are they software that needs to be loaded or just a matter of knowing how to switch them on. Just curious

Hello,

I'm new on this forum, so hello my friends :)

I just bought my new/old Mazak h400, and I'm having problem with machine, spindle wont turn, I get error that spindle is in neutral, and I can't get the machine to first or 2nd gear so it would start spinning. What could be the problem? I'm scratching my head for last few days with this problem... :cryin:

Hi,

New to the forum and in need of some help!

The company i work for inherited a machine, as above 3 years ago and since has only worked for a short period of time by a chap who has now left. Weve now got the operator from the previous company in to try and show us how to work it but some settings (i think its parameters) have been changed and hes never had to mess with them previously.

Hes remembered how he used to set the tools, We've done the program but when we've come to run the program with no material in just to try it the tool goes to the extreme parameters, away from the job. the jaws have been clamped up so were sure that's not the problem but were now stuck.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Leon

MAZAK QT 15 With T-2 Control
After Re-initializing control all data seemed to reload fine.
We put in a simple program.The machine went to index but turret just unclamped then just started indexing with out finding a [position to stop. NO alarms
I noticed after restarting machine and homing out there is no tool number displayed on machine position page.
turret can be indexed manually from station to station.
Would this be a prox switch or a parameter error.

Thanks for any help

Hi when I have the auto unlock parameter on, on my multiplex when the part transfers to the opposite head the partition doesn't shut in time before the auto unlock happens on head 1 where the machine completely alarms out and is a switch off and on job.

Is there a time parameter that may help this?

Something along the lines of once the cycle is complete there is a time delay before the auto door unlock happens?

Mazak are very unhelpful

Nexus Fusion control

Had an alarm 52 error come up after machine sat for month. Ordered battery and replaced like I have in the past per the maintenance manual. I cannot get the alarm to clear. Reset button doesn't work. Went into windows side of control and that didn't work either. The MR-J2 itself no longer throws the error code. I have home positions and turret locations correct.

Is there another place to clear it? I'm wondering if there is kind of like the maintenance alarms.

Is there another battery somewhere?

Thanks in advance.
