Hi
I have a Mazak 515/40 Mill.
On the Z axis when it is in rapid the machine whines I have noise coming from the bottom. I was told that the upper and lower bearings have to be changed because its apparently normal
I was explained that this machine has no counterweight for the head and that the life of the bearings has to be changed 4 times during the life of the Ballscrew.
Is it possible to be done by myself or does it take a Mazak tech to do this?
How do you know if the Ball Screw is not wore out, and if it is is there a place where i could get a reconditioned one?
I am wondering if anybody has been in the same situation and please point me in the right direction.
