OK, I've about had it with mitsubishi drive failures on our mazak machines.
I've been at my current job for just a year now and I've replaced 2 drives and 2 IPM's.
3:30 today and the machine that just started the classic rush job due in the newyear and whatdaya know, X axis drive dies. That's #5 in one year with only 8 mazaks in the shop.
Is this common to mazaks. I'd think it's maybe a lemon machine but 4 of our machines have been so afflicted this year.
This summer I even went through the trouble of plumbing additonal filtered cooling to the heat sink shrouds on all the mills and two of the lathes.
I'm getting sick of replacing drives!!!
