we have the power....VQC 20/50B connected

Hi All

finally got power to the shed today..

We connected up the manual Knee Mill but had it running backwards and had the same with the lathe.. they were both working correctly in the old place so a quick change of wires at the meter box and they were both doing their thing.

Finally moved to connecting the Mazak...
Figured that a good indicator if it was wired in the right direction would be to see which way the chip conveyor was turning and use that as an indicator....

to get the conveyor running, we had to clear all alarms/ estops and reset the unit (screen was on and working). The conveyor was able to be started but was running in the opposite direction (ie- forward direction had the top strand of conveyor going downhill).

Q1) If I reverse the wires, is there something else in the unit that may be affected?

The other thing we noticed was oil running down the head. on closer inspection tonight, i found an elbow on the right hand side of the head with no hose connected (approx 1" or so fitting)




I found a whole heap of oil in the pan conveyor when I picked the machine up. Wasn't sure if it was part of the operational requirements but now that I have this "leak" I assume that isnt normal either. From what I am hypothesising this may be the oil return from the head.

Q2) can anyone point me to where the return line should be going to? ( I assume its there but may have been disconnected :scratchchin:)


The machine had been sitting for a while so as expected the parameters are nothing like the manual. I need to replace the batteries, but the thing I noticed is that the parameters tab doesn't appear to have all the parameters showing up..

Q3) What am I missing in scrolling through? is there another key I need to press to see the parameters that arent showing up? (eg additional pages of the same section)

will spend some time tomorrow cleaning and seeing what else requires work now that I have lights on the old girl :cool:


Cheers

Mick
