Anybody out there have any experience with a mulitplex w/ gl100 gantry?

Recently purchased a 1994 Multiplex 420 and I have some basic questions about getting the gantry to interact with the cnc...

Another update.....Problem #2 solved. Just received the cutting condition parameters from Mazak and loaded them into the machine. I now have the material menu when creating a program and the speeds...

Quick update....Problem #1 solved (turret #1 indexes but does not list what tool it is on). I re-initialized the machine and reloaded the parameters, tool date, etc. What I didn't realize was that...

Hello, all. Recently purchased a 1994 multiplex 420 w/ gantry (T32-4 control) and got it booted up this week and have been getting familiar with the machine. We have 3 Mazaks lathes from the 80's...

I have a Mazak QT-10 (1986) with a Mazatrol CamT3 control. I was wondering if there is an M-code to call for the C-axis to engage and disengage. I don't see one in my M-code list that came with my...

Got into the shop this morning, and lo and behold, my "U-bracket" is not broken. I also see the limit switch plain as day. Thank you, MrMazak. I jogged the Z axis down, locked in the pin, and...

Thank you for your prompt help, MrMazak. U shaped bracket on the turret is missing, as you said maybe the situation. On my T2 control, I see the "tail stock Joint" that controls the pin. You say...

We recently purchased a 1985 Mazak Slant 40 lathe and are just getting our feet wet. Everything seems to work well on the machine. One item I cannot get to move is the tailstock and I believe it is...

Yep, that's it. I actually just found it earlier this morning. Thank you for time and post.

I created a new program and set my maximum spindle speed at 1000 RPM's. In the program, I set the spindle speed at 660 RPM's. When I run the program the highest RPM's that I can get is 416 RPM's. ...

Yes, sorry for leaving out that detail. Was just excited to find that it wasn't super expensive!

Problem found! Pulled off back cover to inspect and found that we had a broken belt. New belt is on order.

We have been running this and other programs for months with no problems. I will get all additional info posted today. Including all alarms. I am leaning toward not getting any feedback from the...

I am running a Mazak QT 10 with a Mazatrol T-3 control. Machine ran great for 7 hours today, but stopped mid-program. Reset the machine and have found that everything works up until the machine...

Problem solved! Thanks, Phil. Tool diameter and direction were entered correctly, BUT I had DRL-OUT selected instead of MDR-OUT.

Oops. I'll get to work on that.

I have a Mazak Qt-10n with a mazatrol cam T-3 control that I recently purchased. I have been doing jobs flawlessly using 2 axis programs. I am new to the machine and programming using the c-axis and...

I have recently purchased a mazak qt10n atc with a mazatrol t-3 control. I am looking to "clamp" in a facing tool, but there are no threaded holes to do this in the tool holder. There is one hole...

Thanks to all for the help. We turned the threads at 565 rpm's with a feed rate of .1428. Great advice and it made my life easier. Especially since I only pretend to be a machinist. Thanks again.

IkegaiAX20Z. Fanuc 6T control.

I need to turn some threads on a cnc lathe and need some feed and rpm help. I am turning 1.25" -7 UNC threads on CR material. Also, any help on depth of cut would be helpful. Thanks.

Problem found. I had to call in a service technician who found that a relay on my spindle drive board was not functioning correctly. He could do one of two things for me: 1) Order me a new relay...

I have an Ikegai AX20Z cnc lathe with a Fanuc 6T-B control that is operating fine except for one thing: the machine moves into position to begin its face cut, the spindle turns on and gets up to...

I have an Ikegai AX20Z CNC turret lathe with a Fanuc 6T control. When we turn on the main power switch, the load meter "pegs out" and the spindle rpm has a reading of app. 1500 rpm's. The control...

Still not sure of the problem, but we have been able to run the machine. We will power up the machine, but not turn on the control until after the spindle rpm gauge and the load meter gauge have...

Problem solved. M12 command was the ticket. Thanks for the help.

I have an Ikegai AX20Z lathe that we have not run for 1.5 weeks. We went to "fire it up" yesterday and everything turns on correctly, except we notice that the RPM gauge reads about 1200 (spindle is...

Thanks for the tip, cacrawfo. It's been awhile since I visited the site. I'll give that code a try on Monday. Thanks again.

Thank you, drummond1. I will give this a shot tommorow morning and let everyone know how it works out.

HuFlungDung,

Thank you for your prompt response. My machine has an RPM limit of 4000. That puts me right at the edge for a carbide letter "C" drill (I believe that 3900 rpm is recommended). I...
