So today, Our 2003 Mazak 510C with 640M (window 95 Based) decided to slam itself into the part on the table.
It had already run this program/Setup 7 times with no problems then out of the blue, going for a toolchange, instead of grabbing tool #7, it grabbed tool #0 and slamed down into Z- untill it hit the soft limit, smashing the Spindle nose with no tool (T0 is the spindle empty) into the top of the part.
Everything was set and running fine and this just RANDOMLY happened. This is very concerning as we have NO IDEA what caused the machine to do this.
Has anyone had something like this happen to them. It seems like it lost its mind for a little bit, but just long enough to cause chaos.
Any help in discovering the cause would be greatly appreciated!
