Good video Phil. As part of the full rebuild of my machine i took the time to Re-Ball the Ball Screws on both X axis and Z Axis. Looking forward to see how much i have improved the backlash run-out on both axis. Still a little way off doing this as i have a fair amount of work to do before i have power reconnected to the machine. Very much looking forward to have it running again. I get to the point of just saying i want it running, lol. All good things in time i guess. Watching your video,s gives me some motivation to get it happening. Thanks again for posting these video,s. Peter.
@@mazatroltipsandtricks6816 Thanks Phil. The funny part about the machine i am currently rebuilding is it,s the exact same machine model i learnt to run a Mazatrol Controller, it was even the same colour green before i repainted it. Mazak QT15 brand new in 1990. It feels like yesterday, LOL. Looking forward to watching the next video. All the best. Peter from Australia.
@@weldmachine I bought the same exact machine model I learned Mazatrol on myself 24 years ago. Still love my 1986 QT10N ATC/MC at work and still use it several times a week.
@@mazatroltipsandtricks6816 You must be like me Phil. You fell in Love at first sight with your machine, lol. Love the Mazak machines. Not cheap to buy or maintain but definitely worth the money. Happy to see you posting more video,s too. Keep up the good work. Peter.
I have not attempted that on an old Mazak. It would be a matter of backing off the X axis wear way off and try to eyeball the V into the existing thread by adjusting the Z offset wear. This would be best done with an infeed angle of 0° instead of the usual infeed of 60°. This would be very difficult to film on camera.
Hey Phil, After watching this video I was excited about getting back to work and resolving my backlash problems. I run a 1994 Mazak Slant 50. Being very new to this machine and to CNC machines in general. I have never changed a parameter. I have a T Plus controller and I have no idea where the backlash compensation parameter is. I went through all the parameter pages, so obviously this controller is different than yours. I also went through the manual with the parameter lists and saw nothing about backlash compensation. This is a machine parameter, right? Of course I also check in the user parameters with the same result.
Mazatrol Tips and Tricks I thought that might be the case. It’s hard to find any help on this controller online Thank you for your quick response. I have contacted Mazak and will be awaiting their response. But I really appreciate what you’ve done with your videos. They are my life line when I get into something new on this machine!👍
@@randyharsey8739 did you get the parameter for a T Plus control to do this on? I recently got a QT20 I'm cleaning up and going through and wanted to take a look at what is in there. Went through the book quickly but didn't find the parameter yet... perhaps another go at it...
I got the official instructions for this from Mazak. They told me to never use the pulse generator for finding backlash. You are supposed to use a program to move it. Not sure why. Any ideas ?
there is only one right way new balls in the spindle or new spindle on milling machine the tools can push and pull compensation only works in one direction

Thanks for the feedback, Peter. Next video is on tool probe calibration. Should be done soon.

@@weldmachine I think that Mazak are great machines. However, the main gripe I have with Mazak is that you cannot leave text messages in a program.
Phil can you have a video for rethreading OD? When the workpiece already remove then put back again for re-threading.

Hi Phil could you please Make a program on npt Threads od and id .Boring and turning and then threading. Thank you
Sounds like a good idea. Got a particular size in mind?

Hi phill
Do you know the backlash parameters on tplus version?
I got a quick turn20
@@hosseinsoleimani7633 Sorry I do not know.
hi your videos Are amazing thank you
I don't have parameter description manual please help me
Sorry, I only know the parameters for my controller. I do not have parameters for every machine.
Pls I have Z Axis back lash problem so please advise which parameter supposed to adjust in Mazak Double turret T640
Sorry I do not have the parameters for your machine.
Sir,
Let me know how to correct and bypass the alarm no. 209 sideway oil malfunction alarm.
I have Mazak nexus 8800-II
Put in more oil or replace the pressure switch if it is faulty.
@@mazatroltipsandtricks6816 sir, I don't have spare of pressure switch.any option for bypass as a temporary

Not sure what it is you are asking about. Please restate the question.
