    Multicam Z axis drive belt.

    Been waiting two days, which is unusual, for information on a Z axis drive belt on a Multicam 5000 series.
    I'll buy the one from Multcam for a spare, I just need to get this back up and running.

    They are usually great on stuff like this.

    I think with the Multicam being purchased you are going to find the support of older equipment is going to be lacking. If you have a bearings and drives in your area take the belt and have them measure it just remember they are metric in size.

    Re: Multicam Z axis drive belt.

    Thanks for the reply.

    We took the old one in to a shop and they identified it incorrectly, but Multicam had one in stock so we are back up. The belt that failed was not the correct width belt, I'm sure the company we bought the machine from found something local to keep them going.
    I actually had a belt from an older Multicam that was almost correct, and that let us finish the job while waiting on the belt from Multicam.

    The worst part was the belt caused the spindle to drop too far and snap fingers off a couple of th HSK63 tool grippers in the tool changer. But I had a local guy make me a couple.
