before I begin I don't have the model number of the mazak machine (I'm not a machinist, but I've been asked to find out problems and fix them for my boss) I can get the machine info on monday but for now I can tell you what I've found.
There is an oiler in the tailstock that pumps 1.5cc's of oil every 7 min from a resevior bolted to the back of the tailstock. what I found is that the electric seiko motor went bad. we were able to get in touch with the motor manufacturer and it's no longer available and they didn't offer any options for us. my question is has anyone of you ever encountered this problem and how'd you fix it? Do any of you know of an electric motor that can be modified to fit in the space needed (about 2.25" X 2.25") or is there another way of supplying the oil to the tailstock in the correct ammount etc. again I appologize for not having more info on the machine but I've been asked to solve this problem?????
