The machine is a 1997 Mazak H400 with an Mazatrol M-2 control. The part is a fairly simple 4 face forging with not a lot of machining. There is one face that gets a 3 sided chamfer that is giving me issues. I had it programmed as a line left in mazatrol, ran almost 1000 parts successfully before I had to shut the machine down and repair a loose Z axis ballscrew support bearing. While in the mess I also repaired a weak encoder coupling on the Y axis. No the rest of the program runs, but I stops at the chamferring unit with 125 AFC overload. SFM is 250, feed is 0.020 per rev, and cutter is a 0.500 cabide end mill with a 0.125 corner chamfer.
I tried changing it to a "manual program" inside of mazatrol with the same result. It comes in to depth, cuts one leg, but stops at the point it would make the first turn of the horseshoe.
any ideas? what in the world does AFC stand for and how does it get overloaded?
