    Reading out operating hours spindle

    Hello,

    is there a way to read out the operating hours from the machine, the spindle and the axis ?
    Machine is a MAZAK VTC300 with 640M control.
    Someone told me it's somewhere in the diagnose screen.

    Thanks

    If you go to the Diagnostic then Version then Servo or Spindle monitor pages you can get this information. A few pages down it will list the amount of hours each drive has run. If you mean can you read this out in a program I believe it should be possible. You would need to find out the variable numbers for that data though. Maybe someone here knows them.
