Its been a long week. I knew I was missing something earlier. There is one other thing different in the 2 numbers. In the second string one is a 4AF71 and the other is a 1AF71. Im looking but havent...
Hopefully someone can assist with this particular question. I have searched the web and have been unable to find anything thus far so I figured I would post here and hopefully someone may have the...
I'm working on a Wirth & Gruffat machining center that utilizes 6 spindles with superior and inferior x and z axis for each station. On the previous shift there was an issue with X5 superior, in...
I hope someone can help me out. I have a Hitachi Sieki HT40S HITEC TURN Lathe with a Yasnac LX3 control. My problem is that I've lost the I/O board part no. JANCD-IO20-03#. This board is obsolete and...
GOT IT!!!!! YEAH! The I/O board was bad. It threw me for a loop but I got it. In the very beginning I found the X-axis brake was unplugged and the ends placed closely together. Not sure if it was...
As an additional side note to the above info we also had to replace the X-axis Servo pack on last week as well. Just thought I'd add that in.
The machine in question is an HT40 Hitachi Seiki lathe. Last week we had a few problems with the clutch popping out in x axis. I got called over by one of the maintenance tech's and he said he was...
Hey guys,
I've got a hard to find unusual machine produced back in the 60's that I'm having some difficulty in finding any resources for. Our company is actually picking up this machine from...
Coolantman,
I have had Sherwin-Williams come in and look at my project a month or so ago and give me their take on it. I know that its probably my best option but in the current economic...
I have an ancient Surface Grinder that I am PM'ing and in the process of it all I am repainting it to make it more presentable in our facility. I wanted to get some suggestions on paint/coatings to...
I have 4 MV-45's and my tools do not correspond to the exact pocket as it is all input on the screen that you referred to for tool data. I know one issue which will throw it off is it must have an...
Yeah.....What he said.....:)
Glad to know I'm not the only one who occassionally jumps in with both feet and misses the small things first. I dont do it often but when I do I feel like a complete idiot.
I'm pretty sure you should be able to find what your looking for by contacting a Kennametal or Sadvik rep. Any of the major insert distributors should be able to help you. If that doesnt work you can...
I agree...take the pins out. I recently got a new gearbox in that had no holes for alignment pins so I machined them and only used the pins for a general ballpark alignment then pulled the pins and...
I've got a couple older machines in the shop that over the years the previous techs have lost the paperwork and spec sheets for. Some of the machinery is obsolete and I'm unable to retrieve new copys...
I feel like a complete moron. I found my problem. After wasting time looking for a bigger problem I found out that someone had been playing around in the settigns and had the machine locked. I feel...
I've got a Mori Seiki MV-45 that has exhibited a problem I have never seen before. I came in first thing this morning and the operator informed me that he had an issue of the machine not moving. I...
Hey guys I am having difficulty locating parts for an old Yoshida radial arm drill press we have here in the shop. I had an issue with the counter-balance a few days ago and was able to locate a...
In my honest opinion I think if you had seismic activity to the magnitude that it would "skip" a 7000lb machine accross the floor, you would have far more to worry about than whether or not it will...
I have an ancient Yoshida Radial arm drill press that I am having problems locating replacemtn parts for. This particular drill press has a spring loaded counterbalance in which the spring is...
I'm sure this is in the wrong place but I posted way at the bottom under metal working issues and I honestly beleive that anyone seldom makes it that far down so I figured I'd repost here.
I've...
I've got an oil lock chuck in which all of the documentation is printed in japanese and I'm unable to decipher any of it so I figured I'd post on here and see if someone may have some knowledge that...
I'm not sure of the similarities of the DC 70 vs. DC 40. This was an old machine that has not been in operation for quite some time so I didnt have an opportunity to do much operational or...
We just had a Deckel DC70 removed from our facility and I still have the manuals here. If anyone has a need for these manuals or would like additional info concerning what literature I have available...
I'm very interested. I'm coming from Va. Beach and from what I've read so far the drive is going to be awesome. I just need to know a date.
Looking for CNC Mechanic/Technician work in Virginia Beach Tidewater area. I have approximately 10 years of experience maintaining, troubleshooting, repairing, performing preventative maintenance on...
