Hi,
I just bought a Mazak QT15 1989 lathe ith T2 control. And I noticed the X-axis sounds like houling when you run it in rapid manualy. I have searched on the internet and found out it could be the bearings. I noticed I have 10-15% load when jogging x-axis even very slow. My first tought was bearings. So I took away the bed cover, and the cover for the the nut adjusting the ballscrew, and I can turn it by hand easly with no backlash and force needed to turn it.
Is it the servo or encoder? I also read that it might be the coupling that might be loose to the balscrew, I have not checked that yet. But I looked at it before and all screws are still there atleast. The servo is connected direcly to the ballscrew.
If you hold you're hand on the turret when moving the xaxis you can feel vibrations, like the servo is oscillating and not running smooth as it should. I also read you can tweak the servo parameters, is this possible on the T2?
