Hey Newguy81,

Forget about an upgrade on an old M2, the cost is more than the machine is worth. I have an old AJV25/404 that I regularly drip feed long programs into. It works fine once you have...

Hi,

There is a company in Langley, BC, called CNC Repair that has all kinds of parts for Mazaks (monitors, drives etc). If you search cncrepair.com you can find them.

Hey Boki,

Send me an email to [email protected]. I'll send you a pdf of the cover, and maybe a couple of pages before I go through the expense of doing the whole manual just to make sure...

Hey Mike,

I have/had a few machines in my shop, including Mazaks. While I agree they have some issues, it does sound suspiciously like a power problem. I had similar issues years ago in another...

Here's my two cents for buying used equipment. Figure out what you want, ie; style of machine (vertical, horizontal, lathe etc), size, any special needs (chip conveyer, power, coolant etc.), and...

Hey Boki,

What control is it specifically? Is it a 432? I have the manuals for a Maho MH600 with a Philips control. It was made in about '86. Let me know if that will help. If so, I can get...

Further to above - still had excess error #2 after replacing bearings and adjusting backlash. After many calls to Mazak and Mits, no help. While sitting on the throne I remembered building audio...

Just another suggestion......go to a used computer place and pick up a couple (few) desktops with parallel ports. Since the first time I had a pc breakdown, I went out and bought 4 CHEAP!!!! A good...

I'm trying to adjust the backlash on the Y-axis on my old AJV25, but I don't have the manual with the parameter addresses. Does anyone have a similar machine/controller. I realize that some of the...

Hey Walleye,

I have an AJV with M2. I'll make a trade with you - I'll give you everything you need to upload/download/DNC in trade for the parameters to adjust backlash. The parameter manual has...

The excess error could be because of excessive wear in the bearings on the ends of the ball screw causing too much play. I just had the same situation on an AJV25. It showed up soon after moving...

Hey Drachir8,

If you set your communication software to "start at machine", then you won't have the problem of the machine starting without you. The program is sent at the pc, which then waits...

Hey Yoya,

Just another annoying little problem that becomes a big problem.....'aint machining fun!!!!

Some questions,
1) What control is it?
2) Do you have the manuals that show how to...

Hello,

Do you have any interest in expanding into the Canadian market? If so, let me know, I might be able to help.

Hi,

What programming software are you using? What equipment do you have? What kind of work/products does your company produce?

Thanks

Forget buying something, DIY. Get the pinout from your DNC software guy, and make the cable yourself. The software supplier will need to know what port you are going to use (best bet...

Hey Dan, thanks for the reply. I tried it today, and it didn't work. The problem is that it has to be on the Command screen to execute a program, and you can't get to the tape mode unless you are...

Hi,

I had the same problem using various semi's, synthetics etc from Valenite, Cimcool, Esso. We now use a coolant called "Hocut 795" from Houghton International (...

Hey Dan,

Yeah, I've dealt with them before. Their software is good in regard to Mazatrol, but I don't use Mazatrol anymore. I'm using NC Link for transfering and it will work for this if I could...

Hi Nlh,

I haven't done it with a 3000C yet, but I have set up various other Fanuc controllers. Do you have the manuals for them? Send me an e-mail to [email protected] and I will send...

Hi Al,

Thanks for the reply. I've been able to upload and download programs without any problems. The issue I have is that I don't know what buttons to press on the machine to get it to allow...

Hey NLh,

What controls do the machines have?

Hi Guys,

I have re-aquired an older (late 80's) Mazak vertical with an M2 controller. I am trying to set it up to do some DNC'ing, and I can't remember how to do it. I am using NC Link, and have...

Hi Mark,

I have a shop here with 4-axis horizontal milling, 3 & 4 axis vertical milling, manuals, live tooling turning with y-axis and c-axis, welding/fabrication, painting, a DEA CNC cmm, Solid...

Hey Dustin,

You could finish the face with one tool - at least up to the outer most point on the diameter. Iscar has some face groove/turn tools, and/or wheel machining tools that would work. ...

Hey Impact,

I'm in Richmond. Give me a call about this part. I would be happy to work with you.

I wouldn't mind quoting on it as well. Can you send a drawing to [email protected]?

Hey Todd,

I got a 1/2-13 tap from Kennametal that was 8" long overall. The only problem you will have is getting lube into the hole to make the tap last.

Hey Pyro,

Go to the ARP fastener site. They have tons of info on materials and processes (at least they do in their catalogue). You might want to start from a finished bolt or something so you...
