Hi,
Fanuc UK won't supply the MCC's. They offer to exchange the board that the MCC's are mounted on for 1360.00 GBP.
The repair guys won't supply them either understandably.

Hi guys,
Thanks very much for the replies.
The problem as you pointed out for me is one of the MCC's. It starts up fine and after a few mins when the machine alarms out the MCC is very hot. I did a...

Thanks Leelund,
I took off the aluminium cover from the centre of the turret and saw that one of the proximity sensors was not lighting up when the motor shaft extended so I got a new switch and...

Hi,
I have a problem with the live tooling on my mazak sqt15ms. I used it 2 weeks ago and it worked fine. But now when I try to spin a live tool in either a programme or manually it struggles to...

Mazatrol coordinate system selected initally.

cheers guys,
I guess I should work on the airtightness a bit. I use an electric heater to heat the place a bit. It's got a lot of elements that heat up and a fan behind them that blow the hot air...

Hi,
I have 4 CNC Machines in my shop. The shop is a single block construction and not at all air tight. The problem I have is that the moisture in the air is condensing on any metal and any cold...

Hi guys I just took delivery of a used SQT 15MS . I looked at the machine in a shop and it seemed to be working fine. Nice machine, everything worked just fine. So I organised some finance and bought...

Thanks very much Mr. Mazak,
that rules out that one then. If you could let me know which controllers have EIA (G-code) as standard. I'm not interested in Matrix yet ! So T32-2 has it as standard or...

Hi I have a Mazak QT15N with T32-2 control. I programme it using G-codes (ISO) and I never use Mazatrol beacuse I don't know how. Anyway I'm very happy with it. I can type the programmes on my...

Thanks George,
It's an encoder allright,
I went in this morning and tried G84. Worked fine. So then I had a 50-off to do. Just drill and tap 2 M4 holes in each, so I thought I'd give it a go. Went...

Hi guys,
This is a bit basic for you. I'm used to lathes and setting the tool offsets. This Bridgeport is very new to me and I really haven't a clue about setting the tool offsets. I would have...

Hi George,
Yeah I'm glad it's moving. I'm not sure about linear scales. I see linear slides on it. It has rigid tapping . It'll be a while before it's making anything. I've got 2 cnc lathes here a...
