MAZAK 15n bad card?
so today, i played around and tested a bit. From todays testing, it appears one card gives a different screen with a bus error. the other gives just a blank screen with " cable not connected" . so, it would appear, they error differently. i guess im in the market for a new card to try. i may... -

MAZAK 15n bad card?
yes,ive thought abbout trying to change the caps.and probably will. i thought it was cooinncidence as well until i unplugged it 15 times in a row and it didnnt respond until swapped. twice. doesnt seem like both card would be bad in the exact same way, but i guess possible. -

mazak 15n battery/memory issues

mazak 15n battery/memory issues
ok thanks. ill look into that. that will help a lot. i assume you can pull and feed programs as well through that? i still have 3.6v on my battery as of yesterday, so it appears ive got a bad diode or somehting on that m116 card i swapped. fingers crossed -

mazak 15n battery/memory issues
thats the info i was looking for. thats much better than the 2-3 weeks i was getting. i do happen to have two of these batteries though. i dont see why if i stack them, it wouldnt double the life and the machine would still charge it just fine, although may take longer. but, no. my battery... -

mazak 15n battery/memory issues
so, yesterday, i noticed the battery voltage went up a tad if i pulled out the m116 card. so i left ot out last night. the battery today didnt seem to lose any voltage. i plugged the card back in and when i turned everything back on, all my parameters,etc are still fine. so maybe ill just pull... -

mazak 15n battery/memory issues
yeah. thats really not an option, cause there will be no power available as im running a phase converter and its not on unless the lathe is -

mazak 15n battery/memory issues
yeah. that would be easy enough to accomplish. im just trying to find out first what the standard discharge time should be to see if i even have an issue before i go trying to change things around -

mazak 15n battery/memory issues
gotcha. good info. ive also found it indeed does charge if control is on. but thats definitely not an option for me. i was just curious what is a normal time for it to sit idle without going dead? ive not ran across a machine that does this before. my other mill sat a whole year and is fine as... -

mazak 15n battery/memory issues
well. i reinitialized everything....AGAIN....so ill see how long this lasts this time. i cant ever really use this machine, cause it sucks trying to reload every dang cutting condition, and tool library ,etc. its not worth the time if it wont keep any of it. -

mazak 15n battery/memory issues
SO, its been a couple years. had some board/connection and screen issues and kinda got aggravated and let it set for awhile. got the screen and everything fixed. My question is , how long can these machines set with the power off and not drain the backup battery? seems like if i went more... -

T32-B QT15 breakdown horrors continue.
after this morning i back up and going. with no screen ,i looked in the cabinet and my 116 card had 2 red lights. i had swapped it last year chasing another problem. i still had my original one which had a chip unsoldered from it from when mitsu told me to change the chip incorrectly. so i... -

T32-B QT15 breakdown horrors continue.
well, things are worse now lol. i went out on a limb and bought a new lcd screen hoping i could see again, since i have power to the old one. new one comes on but immediately says no video signal, then powers off again. reckon that means my old one works just fine and theres more to that problem... -

Power Consumption of running a LeBlond Lathe Running on a Rotary Phase Converter
you literally wont even notice the difference. i can run my stuff hard all day for a week or 2 straight, and i think it may have been 20 extra bucks.- Embrey

EXCEL 510 VMC sudden NOT READY problem
ran the machine for about 6 hours today through various setups and parts. not a single problem. it was indeed the E stop switch in the back by the tool changer causing the issue. looking back, it has had a couple times it glitched and did this, but it was always a one time thing until now. so...- Embrey
