Good Afternoon!

I'm trying to help a friend with his Mazak QT8 CNC Lathe with a T32B controller. At power up, they are getting an intermittent alarm on the control screen "10 overheat". The...

Well, we have several of these little QT8 CNC Lathe's and I've had several of these errors over the years. If you have the exact situation listed above, I would first try re-seating the card in the...

We purchased a MHP-30 Vertical Machining Center a few years ago. I understand this machine was built by Hurco and I also understood when we purchased the machine that it was a black sheep machine if...

We run a small CNC shop and use 2 mid 80's and 1 early 90's Okuma Howa CNC Lathe. All 3 machines have worked very well for us with very few maintenance issues. In looking at equipment we are...

We have a late 80's model Mazak QT8 CNC Lathe with T2 control. The lathe has been idle for sometime and it appears it will require some work to put it back into operation. Would it be wise to...

We have a 1884 model Okuma Howa Act2SP-2 Twin Spindle CNC Lathe with a Fanuc 3T control. This is still a great machine and has served us very well for many years now. We have a recurring issue with...

We had a problem with the servo drive that was causing this alarm. We had to ship the drive to Mitsubishi for repair. Sorry, I know that does not help much.

The Diagnostic screen has a series of 1's and 0's for the various inputs and outputs. We do not have the information to tell us what inputs or outputs are assigned to the various addresses. Would...

Would anyone have diagnostic information for the T32B control on a QT8 CNC Lathe? We are still missing something and we do not have the information to check the I/O on the diagnostic screen.

We are installing a used Mazak QT8 with a T32B control. Upon startup, we attempt a spindle jog and get a 250 Spindle Start Misoperation. We have checked door close switches, chuck close...

WOW! You guys are great. I changed the wiring so that a resistor is between P5 and A, and P5 and B and the saw works perfectly. Daito was not offering any solutions and Sumtak/Heidenhain would not...

The encoder actually has 8 leads but we are only using 4. The white wire is connected to P5 which I understand to be 5 VDC power. Black connects to G. Red connects to A and Green connects to B. ...

Did you use a brand new endmill? With the burring on the bottom, it does not appear that your endmill was new. You need those dead sharp flutes when cutting plastic materials. If the endmill has...

We have a roughly 20 year old Daito automatic saw, which is still a good saw. Anyway, we were having problems with our length of cuts and getting the lengths set correctly. I suspected a problem...

We have a Mazak QT8 CNC Lathe with T32-2 controls. The machine is giving a #27 Magnetic Position Detect Malfunction at startup. The servo drive is a MR-S12-80B-E01 dual drive. The drive is giving...

We have a Mazak QT8 CNC Lathe that we recently purchased and has probably been in storage for some time now. When I first powered up the machine the control gave a title screen that said Mazatrol...

We have yet to get our machine running. However, it hasn't received a tremendous amount of attention. It was basically a project I purchased at a local auction cheap. I had mixed results regarding...

We have a old but still good 1985 Mazak QT20 with a Mazatrol T1 control that we have owned for years and is still a good solid CNC Lathe. The machine has a hydraulic chuck but I believe the machine...

We purchased a Tecno Wasino SM-15 Series Dual Slide Turning/Milling Chucker CNC Lathe with a Fanuc O-TTC Control manufactured in 1995. Upon Startup, the feed hold light flashes along with the red...

We have a 325 with a Fanuc Spindle Motor. I don't know the exact size of the motor but as the earlier post said these mills were rated at 5 HP. We are actually running this mill on a 20 HP...

I have a Mazak QT8 with a T32-B control which is a 1991 model machine. Machine ran fine yesterday with no problems. Upon startup this morning we generated a 058 emergency stop (external) alarm. ...

I really do appreciate you taking time to respond and the information you provided. We will check these items out and will probably have to call Mitsubishi.

Thank you,

Gary

The drive is a FR-SF and a yellow and green led are lit at the top of the drive. The drive gives an AL 36 alarm with is listed as a Transfer Error.

Thank you for your help,

Gary

I've run into a similar problem. If you don't mind me asking, what did it take to get your machine back up and running?

Thank you,

Gary

We have a very frustrating problem with battery failure on a M320LCV Mitsubishi control on a Citizen CNC Machine. I placed a new battery in the control and it lasted about a month when suddenly one...

Good Morning!

Okuma & Howa Act2SP-2 with a Fanuc OT Control. We are getting a 920 Watch Dog Timer alarm. However, the alarm is very intermittent. Once the alarm occurs, we can power the machine...

I'm probably a little late with this response but I will send it anyway. If your Citizen is equipped, you can hob this spline right on the machine with your live tooling. We can cut this spline for...

I'm trying to locate a replacement material for a Crucible product Maxel 3-1/2. It is my understanding that 4150 modified re-sulfurized is best substitution but it appears this material is only...

I have files ALL1, ALL2, and ALL3 which I believe to be the parameter files for the machine.

Hey, thanks for responding to my question and the information. How difficult of a process would this be? Should a novice repair person be able to perform this task or should I go ahead and call a...
