Hi All, Our QT250MY is crashing when we are programming a part, it seems to be graphics related. I wondered if anyone had seen similar issues? It is quite a complex program and it only seems to crash when the software tries to load the image/model of what you are programming. Thanks.

Update - One of the screws had become jammed with an object I didn't see so as soon as the machine fired up and tried to drive the screw it tripped instantly. What is strange is that the breaker wasn't tripping yet I was still seeing the alarm...

VCS430A (SMART) - "218 Conveyor Thermal" trip won't clear - No breakers tripped. Hi All, We have a VCS430A and I had a thermal trip a couple of days ago, usually this only happens if the conveyor jams and trips the breaker. The usual breaker wasn't tripped in this situation and the conveyor is...

That is interesting, this machine does have a similar log in on start up. We bought the machine second hand and we believed it had previously been connected to a larger network. The username and password have always been there and all you do is click on "OK" to log in, this process hasn't...

Afternoon, We have a Nexus QT250 with the 640T control. We are having an issue where the soft buttons along the bottom of the screen stop working, ie the ones which allow you to enter program / program edit etc. The only one that does anything is the far right ">" button and the button for...

Afternoon All, I have a large billet of F55 to machine (320mm dia), I am looking for some advice on how best to go about this. Previously we rough machined similar items and left them out of the machine to "move" before finish machining. This was successful to a point but we still got further...

Thanks very much.

I have been asked to cut a Male 1 3/4" BSPP thread(1.75"), I am unable to find any real information on this thread. It appears that it isn't a standard size. Any advise on how best to go about cutting this accurately.

Thanks CNC Hacker, much appreciated. Worked a treat. :)

Afternoon, Does anyone know if you can you drip feed a large program to a Mazak SMART control from a USB? Thanks.

Thanks, ill take a look.

Hi All, Our machine above has just started to freeze on start up when the control tries to load, it freezes on with the image of the 640T on the screen (ie the screen is not blank so its not a screen issue). Has anyone experience anything similar to this and if so did you find the cause? Thanks.

Can you find someone to spark erode this for you locally.

Thank you to all that have replied, that is a great help. The approach angles and the S&F's will give us a good starting point. The material being removed is pretty balanced, and the components are heavy walled once finished so I am hoping for not too much movement. The machines will be...
