Hi all
My machine is actually a HYUNDAI badged Mazak quick turn 15N with a T32B-b mazatrol controller
I bought the machine in an auction and did not view it or speak to previous owners or operators
The auction house managed to do a small video of the basics, seen here
YouTube
They got the spindle jogging, and the turret indexing as you can see,
Now I have spoken to the auctioneer but he says he can’t remember what they done specifically, and he had somebody from the warehouse helping who he can’t contact so they can’t help me unfortunately
So seeing as that worked I know it’s not a totally duff machine,
So, I can power it up,
Put the door switch to test position and the program switch to enable and I can jog the axis using the hand wheel and both axis move
But if I press the home button followed by the x or z direction button as the manual say for the zero/home sequence, nothing happens at all, if I try to jog the spindle nothing happens!
I have been told that unless you zero the machine first nothing else will function
Anyone have any ideas
All parameters in the machine booklet it seems are there, some are slightly different to the manual but they are locked in the machine and it says “protected” if you try to edit them,
The hydraulic pump is working and chuck will close and open
I can unclamp the turret but it will not rotate using the jog button
Both axis move using the jog handwheel as mentioned before so they are not on the stops or limit switches
The auctioneer had it moving in the video so it must be a sequence I’m not doing or something simple
I have read the manual but have not found an answer
Any help would be appreciated
I have a machine service engineer who has some experience with these machines booked for Monday if I don’t work it out before
Thanks
Marc
