Thanks I will do!

I’ve been thinking about getting rid of my 1995 Mazak mill and upgrading to something newer because of the control being so limited from its age as it has very little memory for complex tool paths...

Chuck jaw issue was resolved. Easiest fix so far. Replaced the fuse at OPM7.

I know I can run this machine with a keyboard board and mouse, and I’m sure that’s how I will do it for the time...

I got the brake issue resolved, now my issue is the chucks jaws not opening and closing with the peddle. The brake issue ended up being a broke wire.

Alright so I’m pretty sure the problem with the spindle contactor not working is the output board. I’m getting 120v from the door switch but no voltage out of wire 608 at tb5-12 coming from the...

Yeah I checked for voltage to the contactor and it isn’t showing any when I press spindle jog. I need to check the switch.

Hey sorry I didn’t see this until I got home but I can tell you that all leds on the drive are green with no errors that I can see. I’m not sure on the software level but I can check that out...

Thanks I’ll check it out.

Thanks for the help, yes the schematics are a must!
I figured I would share what I found to help anybody else in the future. I pulled the output board out and started checking traces and noticed...

I called Fives and they are emailing me the actual wiring schematics for the machine. Let you know what I find.

Little update on the machine. When I turn the spindle on I get no alarm but the spindle does not turn on. During the alignment procedure I get an alarm saying the c axis didn’t find its home pulse...

The control diagram number on the serial plate is 9120 3107.

Also here is a photo of the actual output board on my machine. 491058

I traced the 2 wires coming from the servo cable providing power to the coil back to the output board. Yellow and black wire. Looks like there is a 2 amp fuse and a board mounted rectifier next to...

Was jogging fairly slow. Control is acramatic 2100 with vickers drives. Check voltage to the brake on the motor and it’s not getting the voltage. Should be 90v dc. Does anybody know what supplies...

I’ll look into them tomorrow. Would be nice to have the operation manual as well.

Ok guys I decided to take the brake off the motor and see if I still had the same issue and lo and behold it aligned properly! Now I’m getting somewhere. Need to check and see if I’m getting...

24vdc engages the brake?

I’ll certainly check it as soon as I finally get this thing up and running!

I may have royally screwed something up! I over traveled the x axis in rapid mode before aligning the machine. I was ignorant to the alignment procedure. I tried holding the green power up button...

Thank you so much!

This may seem like a pretty stupid question but this is my first time messing with the acramatic 2100 control on this machine and I can’t seem to figure out the routine for bringing the quill back...

Ok I think I located it. The bracket looks to be crooked holding the crash switch allowing the switch to make contact with the turret. Found it in the parts manual

Ok I got my rt board back from maver1ck and everything passes diagnostics now. I do have an alarm though. Its 39-48 turret has been crashed and needs to be realigned and switch cleared. This alarm...

Maver1ck I sent you a private massage

Thanks, going to give them a call today. I didn’t check the voltage but the battery had a date on it from 2014.

Well I hooked up the graphics card to the rt board along with power supply and I’m getting no signal to the monitor. I don’t know if the card I was sent is bad or the rt board is dead.

Yeah the rt board is what I was thinking as well. Figured it would be one of the easiest things to check first. ISA video card should be in the mail tomorrow so I’ll check it out. I’m hoping the...

Hey, thanks for the reply! Yes I definitely should have taken a picture of the alarm before shutting the machine off but the turret was rotating into my chuck jaws! I did initially try the estop...

Looking for some smart people with experience with the acramatic 2100 control! My machine was sitting idle and then started rotating the turret nonstop on its own. I shut the machine down before I...

what are the servos you need? im retrofitting my hawk 5. mine currently have dc baldor mte 4535 specials 2 work perfect 1 errors occasionally.
