Mazak overload reset procedure

[romeo123400]

Does anyone out there know the procedure from recovering from machine faults

other than rebooting the entire system.

 

Everytime I have the slightest bump the machien faults out and I cant clear the alarm message.

 

Running a Mazak quick turn Nexus 200ms.

 

In fact I have a few questions for anyone that is an expert operator. I'm faily new to Mazak and get stuck every

now and then. Could use a reliable source to guide me in the right direction from time to time.

LOL. That is called a crash. Is it one of the red servo overload alarms? If it doesn't clear by holding MF1 and MF2 while hitting reset, than you gotta power down and up.

Usually as Joe said.. hold down MF1 and MF2 then hit reset.. should clear most alarms.. depending on the model machine.. dont run lathes but doubt mazak's controls are that different on any of thier newer stuff..

Oh you so funny :0, I inadvertantly jogged my Z axis when the air hose touched the knob No harm no foul

but I did get the alam.

 

So tell me where the MF2 key is guys

[djstedman]

Well depending on the age it might be a different control I think.. think at one time they came with 640 controls and then they come with the newer style thats out now thats a bit different .. I think in either case the MF2 button is usually within a couple inches of the MF1 button on the control.. its not hidden in the cabinet or anything like that..

[Joe788]

If it's a Fusion control, it only has the MF1 button. Looks like a finger.

[romeo123400]

Yes I have the older control then. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about my machine. So on my 640 control there is only

an MF1 key.

 

Ok well at least now I have my answer. Reboot

 

Thanks for your help guys

If you are new to the mazak you may or may not know that Mazak has free phone support for service or application help. Check the website http://www.mazakusa.com/locator.asp and find the office near you to call. Have your machine serial number handy, they will ask for it. To be honest you will likely have to leave a message but they will call you back and most of the time they can get you going in the right direction.
