Hey guys so I have an integrex with upper and lower turrets. My tool eye is off it the y axis. Meaning it’s too low. So the tips of the tools barely touch the sensor.
Now I spoke to Mazak and they said to use the adjustment cam screw to essentially tilt the arm up but the problem Im having with this is that it puts the z axis sensor off in the y axis so a tool tip measures different than an endmill by a little.
Now I measured and I have over .001” off from top of the sensor to the bottom.
What I was told I should do is use an indicator and adjust the arm so it is parallel with the z axis and this corrects the sensors so they are flat but then the tools tips don’t reach.
Here is the tools tips and how I measured to get the sensor flat
So that makes things perpendicular/ parallel etc
Mazak tech said the error will be so small it does not matter when I use that cam screw to adjust it but to me it think it does matter so I’d like to have it correct. The error is over .001”
So my question is does anybody know how I should go about adjust this in y axis only with not changing the angle?
There are 2 joints I see bolted that I could shift but one seems doweled in place and the other definitely does not have the adjustment I need. (Aprox 3mm or .125”)
Looking at this photo you can see the 2 joints where it is possible to move. One is where the arm attached and the other is behind that arm under the Chuck.
