Thanks for the reply. This keyboard 5V power supply is located where ? On the backside of the control panel ?

Hello All,
Looking for some suggestions on what may be causing my QT15 T-2 to just stop for no apparent reason.
Until recently, I could restart the machine and all would be well for several hours...
Hi,
I'm reaching out to get some troubleshooting ideas concerning a 1980's DOALL C1213A band saw I recently acquired.
The saw basically operates the way it seems it should, but there's two issues...
Some Mondays are worse than others.
My QT-15 with T-2 control decided it wanted to ruin my Monday by alarming out with all sorts of error codes , some I've never seen before.
Here's a list:

I was wondering if anyone can help identify the function of the various FX circuit boards as used in a QT15 with T2 control ?
Are these identified in any factory manual ???

Had a situation today where the turret didn't index to the correct tool and machine kept going. Result was a tool feeding into the turret until it overloaded and shut machine down.

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
Luckily, the problem was related strictly to the incoming line voltage.
Closely inspecting the incoming power cable from bus bar breaker to main switch and associated...
I'm having trouble sourcing the problem on my QT15 with a T2 control. The control will not power up and I am seeing an E7 on the spindle control.

Hi,
I have a 1994 vintage VF-3 that has started making some strange z axis moves. Example: when doing multiple drill or tap locations with say, a .100" R value, the spindle will rise anywhere from a...
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I am back in business...sort of.
The factory service guy-Bob- sent me a tool backup file that got me going again. At least to where the machine will load tools with a M06...
I'm reaching out to get a feel for what would be a general range of hourly rate for a machine shop person whose duties are pretty much fixed at operating machines already set up,monitoring part...
OK; I figured out what the scenario is. The pin pops in under air pressure to lock the spindle. It pops out and actuates the switch to let the machine know it's out.
The pin is slightly tapered at...
While I posted this query, I was looking through my manual, and then did a thread search for similar issues.
I located a switch associated with the spindle lock on the RH side of the head. This...

I could not find anything specific in the manual I have about what I need , or how to go about...
Well there's no chips on the switch.
I suspect it is just on it's way out . Every once in awhile the Z wouldn't home out on start up. So I'd crawl up there and spray it with carb cleaner, push the...
Mike,
They always say necessity is the mother of invention, and desperation is the father !!!
I figured if I modified the setting a fraction at a time, it wouldn't get things too far out of whack....
OK; I think I got it.
Rummaging through the HAAS handbook, I found the listing of parameters and there was a setting number for the spindle height. I used the formula to arrive at a higher setting,...
I did an experiment: I removed the spring loaded clip assembly from the #1 tool position, then activated the ATC FWD command.

Mike,
The shuttle cover is opening fine; but the inner section of the actual tool holding clip is contacting the edge of the spindle housing.
You have me thinking that perhaps the spindle is...

Long story short, found another battery at opposite end of control and replaced that too.
