Re: [Emc-users] OT: Mazak QT 20 T1 with Fanuc spindle drive problem
Before you buy that new drive I would try and fake out the rest of the controls so they don't see the alarm signal and begin to function. That way you can buy the new drive knowing that you can get everything functional after the swap. Dave On 7/17/2014 6:47 PM, Leonardo Marsaglia wrote: Well, about the drive. I checked the capacitors with my brother's friend who whas the tester and they are ok. The fuses are ok, I can't see any burnings or loosen solders, at least in the rapid view. We're thinking about replacing the drive for a new one of 20 hp. They cost like US 1100 and it's the fastest solution. We were tracing and measuring the signal cables and apparently all the Inputs and Outputs on the Mazatrol T1 controller work with 24 VDC. I'm worried about this because the hall effect sensors and other switches are expected to work with tha voltage level. But what impresses me is that the communication between the spindle drive board, and the motherboards is also 24 VDC. Do you have any experience with this? The schematics are almost useless for this. About the lathe, there's only one signal that's preventing the lathe to work, and that's the alarm signal comming from the spindle drive. I don't know what kind of signal sends the NC to the drive for the velocity reference, but I expect it to be an analog voltage. In fact there are some cases in forums that report a spindle drive replacement, with another drive different from the original. They had succeded in making them to work, so I guess I have to measure that signal (I hope the NC can output the signal even if there's no feedback because the spindle is going to be standing still). Well, basicly, I would be thakful if you have some ideas or advices because tomorrow, if I can measure and ensure that the signals are there, I'm going to buy the new drive. Eventually, this Mazak is going to be updated to LinuxCNC, in fact as soon as it starts to work again I'm going to measure and try to take all the information about the servo drives and resolvers. The only doubt I have about that is If I can use the original drives with LinuxCNC, because that would be great. Thanks as always and I hope I can make it work soon! Please let me know if you have any advice or anything because you have a lot more knowledge than me!

Re: [Emc-users] Slip ring - experiences
Limitless rotary axes are not really limitless. My bridge 5 axis with Fanuc 15mb will rotate 9,999.999 degrees before the register overflows. I realize LinuxCNC will not have this small limit. For most things 9,999.999 degrees equates to limitless. LinuxCNC would be 'limitless' in more situations. All the heavy power for my rotary axes is before the slip rings. The only problem we have had is the rings carrying the power for the encoder wore much faster than any of the other rings. We now have a battery feeding the power to the the encoder. The battery must be changed once in a while. Do not try to cheap the slip rings. Even the expensive ones will tend to be the source of most of the problems. In the beginning we had a lot of problems with our slip rings. We found cleanliness was the fix to most of the problems. thanks Stuart On Fri, Jul 18, 2014 at 10:36 AM, Tomaz T. tomaz_...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi, Does anyone here have any experiences with slip ring components?

Thanks for the advice off course Dave :) Turns out, all the inputs and outputs on the T1 work with 24 VDC. We fooled the CNC and the alarm dissapeared, so now it's functional, with the exception of the spindle. We tested the command velocity voltage and it's 0 to 10 VDC. There's another pin for direction so it's pretty simple to replace the original drive. Fortunately the only delay is going to be the arrival of the VFD because I'm buying it from a supplier on the US, and I have to wait 3 or 4 days for it to arrive to Argentina, but anyway so far great news. The plan of converting the lathe to LinuxCNC is still on the go, because once we have it turning again we're going to start gathering all the data and boards necessary to make the conversion.

Re: [Emc-users] OT: Mazak QT 20 T1 with Fanuc spindle drive problem
Sounds like you have it figured out! Just need to get the new drive installed and running. Nice.. :-) Dave On 7/18/2014 4:20 PM, Leonardo Marsaglia wrote: 2014-07-18 12:19 GMT-03:00 Dave Cole linuxcncro...@gmail.com: Before you buy that new drive I would try and fake out the rest of the controls so they don't see the alarm signal and begin to function. That way you can buy the new drive knowing that you can get everything functional after the swap. Well, today we just finished doing the testing of the signals. Thanks for the advice off course Dave :) Turns out, all the inputs and outputs on the T1 work with 24 VDC. We fooled the CNC and the alarm dissapeared, so now it's functional, with the exception of the spindle. We tested the command velocity voltage and it's 0 to 10 VDC. There's another pin for direction so it's pretty simple to replace the original drive. Fortunately the only delay is going to be the arrival of the VFD because I'm buying it from a supplier on the US, and I have to wait 3 or 4 days for it to arrive to Argentina, but anyway so far great news. The plan of converting the lathe to LinuxCNC is still on the go, because once we have it turning again we're going to start gathering all the data and boards necessary to make the conversion. The critical part here is to define how the DC servo drives work, because the idea is to mantain the originals, because the are working great. I'll be telling you how this is going!
