The QT-15 is a very nice machine and I started running one when I was 16. It had the T-2 control and we have QT-15's with the T-32, T-plus, fusion and now Matrix. The biggest difference between the...
I ran a QT-10 for years. If the tool is not coming down to X center it is because of one fo two things:
1)The tool is not defined correctly
2)The X-offset is not correct (-10.5")
Any center...
There is another way to get even closer to the shoulder then the ones mentioned. There must be an undercut for this to work and I only use this when the undercut is not wide enough. This is a bit...
Going down to check these machines out on the 12th of March. Any of you guys see them yet? What do you think?
That was perfect advice. The only thing I would add is if you are not able to turn the casting to get a measurement in order to teach "X", you can use any known diameter. For instance, if the chuck...
Chevin makes theese holders and are much cheaper then buying direct from Mazak. I also see these every so often on Ebay.
Our Multiplex will always open the top doors no matter if the gantry is running or not. We always have to restart past the gantry code when the gantry is not being used (first piece). Now you have...
That is correct. The part is 4" long and it still came down way in front of the part. I tried 0.00, 4.000 and -4.000 and it never came anywhere near the face of the part.
Here are the pics. The extra hole in the face of the fixture is for orienting it when you put it in the chuck.
I will explain: We made a pot fixture that the tool fits into. Like the spindle, the taper and face bottom out at the same time. We then milled a slot thru both walls that line up with the holes...
My father started our shop and I have been running Mazaks since I was 13. We have grown a lot since then and we now have 6 Mazak Lathes, 2 Horizontals, 2 Integrex's and a Multiplex. We have had...
We just modify a standard KM63 holder. The collars are not hardened but we have used these holders for 8 years and they still work great. Plus there is a much larger selection.
We just put a new job on our 2000 Mazak Integrex 200Y. It is 10" diameter tubing with an 7" bore. The I.D. is running out a ton out and when we bore it the head (turret) flexes back and forth. ...
Hey guys, just found this site and it looks like there are some very insightful people here.
We just got a new Multiplex (our first one). I program using Mazatrol and for whatever reason I...
