Found one. Now the fun part, to get it moved and running!

Thanks for the info you sent me, replied to your email. Not sure that option is going to work though, so if anyone else knows of a Hawk 150 with the A2100 and uses this style of tool blocks that they...

Not sure this is really the right place to post this, but I didn't see a different forum to post it in. If it needs to be moved somewhere else, I understand and would appreciate it if someone could...

Had a little mishap while moving my new-to-me Arrow 750 into the shop and bent up the steel housing the monitor is in. I *think* the screen is ok and I was able to find the plastic surround/bezel on...

Yeah, I didn't have any luck with internet searches either. Thanks for trying though!

Looking for these cast leveling pads. I tried googling the casting number on the bottom but haven't had any luck. These came with a used Cincinnati Milacron machine I just bought but I don't know if...

Finally think we have this figured out and thought I would update the thread for future searches. It looks like a couple of the wires broke in the cable just a couple inches before the servo motor...

Thanks for the continued advice Mike. I will look over the cable in the morning and we will get the appropriate alcohol to clean the scale. This has been a great help!

Awesome! Thanks Mike. You have been most helpful! It appeared to happen at random times, but it did seem to happen in almost the same spot relative to the X-axis. We will make sure to keep track of...

To start, here are pictures of the X axis servo motor. The Z axis is way up under the machine behind the electrical cabinet where I couldn't get a picture or see the placard with the info. These are...

Do these pictures help enough or do you need more information? I wasn't able to get to the motors yet, and to my knowledge I do not have scales on any axis.
...

The machine started behaving normally all on it's own again.... :confused:

Something wonky in there for sure, not looking forward to when it rears it's ugly head again. Not even really sure how to...

My Hawk 150 with the A2100 control is having a problem that would only happen once in awhile but is now starting to become more common and troublesome. Recently it has begun shutting the machine down...

As a follow up...

The U.S. authorized repair facility for Duplomatic (Italian turret manufacturer) is Macoser, Inc. I contacted them and they sent me the software for connecting to the turrent...

I'll try to look for binding this weekend. I may pull the motor as well to verify the brake is not sticking. By the looks of the unit I do believe it is gear drive though. When it does rotate, it...

How tight is too tight? After the shot pin is retracted (of course), I can spin the turret by hand but it does take a pretty fair amount of force, IMO. Don't know if that is a function of binding or...

Unfortunately, I have no idea how you'd do that.

And once again my description wasn't clear enough. Sometimes it moves a short distance, most of the time it will move all the way back to the home...

Pulled the turret shot pin valve apart. I didn't see anything wrong with it, oiled it and put it back together. So now I'm out of ideas for things to check again. Anyone have anything else in mind to...

Got the new prox switch in, didn't fix the problem. Seems like sometimes the air solenoid doesn't "kick" as hard as it should for the shot pin. I'm gonna play with it more this weekend and see if...

Finally got a chance to recheck the switches. The one that reads the flag for the turret home position was always on even when the flag wasn't in front of it. I tried cleaning it off and holding it...

Will definitely keep that in mind when I check them again. I'm really crossing my fingers it will be as simple as changing a switch!

Hmmm, I'll recheck things tomorrow morning. I bet I screwed up and had my multimeter on VAC instead of VDC. Thanks for pointing that out! DOH!

Checked all 3 prox switches and they seem to work fine. When something metallic is in front of them they read 0.685V, when nothing is in front of them they show 1V.



Yeah, was hoping there was...

Sorry, was in my own small world.

A2100 control, the error message is a Turret Failure fault. Says to check a bunch of things that I've already checked.

When the fault happens the shot pin does...

Still not having any luck.

Nobody has any ideas? I'm not very familiar with this lathe yet and would appreciate any help in where I should start with my trouble shooting and move towards.
...

Sometimes the turret works and sometimes it doesn't. Problem happens both with manual index, when calling for a tool, and while trying to align the machine. The shot pin seems to work and "unlocks"...

How would you know it was twisted even if you could adjust it? I'm not seeing any place that appears to be a good place for setting a level. The only thought I had for leveling the machine was along...

I am working on setting up a Hawk 150 in my shop and am not sure how to properly level the machine. With my mill (Arrow 750) I used a precision level on the table and adjusted the leveling screws...

Depending on what control you have it should already be there. Mine already was and they walked me through doing it over the phone. Didn't cost me anything. I've been looking for the contact info of...

I'm not sure all controls can do it but after talking the a guy at MAG? we switched the machine over so that the control orients the spindle rather than the drive. It worked but now I'm down due to a...
