I posted here because Mazak IS a Mitsubishi control and Most people who have worked on a mazak would at least have some familiarity with a Mitsubishi control.

I have called mitsubishi since I...

I have made some progress on the machine. I found a stuck homing switch on the y axis. Fixed that and I can get the machine to home if I use MDI and command G28(The Axis) 0. Then it will rapid to the...

Minimum Quantity Lubrication Is a good thing for small shops in small spaces that don't want to use flood coolant. It can be an expensive upfront cost if you want something ready to go but you can...

I am hoping this is a simple one. I have a Supermax rebel 3 that I am trying to get back running after it sat for 2 years. The control is a FCAM3A which I think is a Meldas M300 series.

I...

I have a ~1983 superslant with a 6t control. It was running and developed a drive fault in the middle of a job. I have a newer lathe now and really just want it out of the shop for the space. 20hp...

I am trying to customize my bobcad post to work with a bystronic laser. There are some lines in the begining of the file I am not clear on. Does anyone have experience with bystronic code?

TIA,...

I just picked this up today. I believe it is missing wiring . It has servo motors telling me it is a cnc cmm. The guys I got it from told me it didn't work but I am hoping to get it working. Does...

The arm needs to be aligned with the y axis or straight front to back. It needs to also be all the way up.
If you can rotate it by the relay that is good. But you will probably need someone there...

There are a lot more things needed to give you the best answer.
36 x 36 x 1 = a pretty large VMC type machine depending on if that is what you need.
Need to know quantity you want to machine.
Is...

4.5" diameter Insert face/ shell mill would do that easy.

If you had a horizontal attachment for the mill a 4.5" diameter cutter would do it in one pass

Thank you again. This kind of info is what makes practical machinist the best site in my eyes when your machines down and you need some help from someone else who has been there before!

I hope I...

Thanks for the reply. That was exactly the kind of info I was hoping for.

On the excel what moved the arm up/down? The arm on this one is in the down position right now. I am guessing another...

I just bought a Supermax YCM V56T. The machine has the arm type tool-changer. I am more familiar with the carousel style.
This machine had the spindle come down and apparently the tool-change arm...

I have an Emco 220 with the TM02 control. Everything works but the spindle acts weird. It is on 3 phase not RPC. When the machine is started spindle sits still but after the 1st time the spindle is...

I might be interested in the torqcut, Have you come up with any prices yet?

One thing you didn't say was what is the tolerance you need to hold?

Another thing we haven't mentioned is the temperature of the part when 1st measured vs the temp when it has "grown".

Maybe...

I work alot of uhmw too. If the part is growing after machining,my 1st thought would be it's from being compressed from your workholding pressure. Are these turned or milled parts?
I have had this...

Well I finally got the probe working. It turns out I had wired into the skip 2 pin by accident. I saw a parameter bit change when i triggered the probe but it was not the right bit.

Now when i...

I bought a complete renishaw probe set up on ebay. Mp12 Omm and mI12.
I wired them in and it seems to work according to the Led's on the Mi12 and the Omm.
However if I command a g31 move Ie. G31...

I just went through my old un-used stuff. If you can use these let me know and I will send them out.

Thanks for the replies.
I did end up removing the collet closer. I was then able to tap on the end of the drawtube and get the collet free. I removed/ cleaned the whole closer assembly and the...

I was running a chucking job just facing these bars to length.

I accidentally hit the collet open button before the spindle fully stopped. Now I can't get the closer to open the collet to release...

A closer picture of the tooling as requested, Sorry for the quality. My camera doesn't like close-ups.

Here Are a couple pictures of the Emco. The controller picture shows some buttons missing but I have them. They were a little loose so rather than lose them when I moved it I took them off and put...

Hi Rcjacob,

Yes it is still for sale.
