Mazak Micro Slant 15 Retrofit

Could not sleep so went to the shop and set up the homing.

sometimes you just gotta knock it out !!

Hi Tommy,Fashion be late, I have only just read through your build log, love your work.I have just converted a Mazak VQC-2040B mill that had a M2 control, very similar to T1 control. If you need any help understanding the "translations" in the mazak manuals and what all the wiring names mean I'm sure I can help as after a lot of trial and error I am now at one with their "translations".I have attached my IO spreadsheet if you ever what to see how I have interfaced IO from the machine to my 7i77 and 7i84. I am also happy to share my ladder logic (in-depth with error handling) if you ever want to use some of it for your machine.Good Luck.

@JLennox,
Thank you very much, but it is finished, just need to change the encoder wiring as one is way to short.
Also need to add the great lathe macro/tab/gui that Andy made.
Was working out of town for quite a while, so now catching up as much as i can, it is winter here although no snow.
Not sure if i uploaded all the pages with the wiring though, will have to go through this topic again.
I will check your list, there are plenty of pins i left unused, mostly did not need those, like the fast turret rotation, it is to damn fast and changed with a switch, can not allow that on a machine i might sell and getting calls later. And there is always the option i forgot something...

Hi Tommy

I am busy working on a Mazak QT20U with the exact same controls and drives as yours .

I am currently stuck with wiring the servo drives (TRA31 and TRA41).

How did you wire everything up ?

I have the maintenance manual ,but I can't get the drives to come on at all.

Thanks
Dylan

Word of warning, the drives use different color wiring for the same function, takes a lot of effort to keep those in check.
I am sure i have uploaded pictures everything i wrote down while working on it, not sure if i did write the enable wiring, that was the last thing i did before setting up homing.
Have a look and let me know if there is anything missing, i will gladly add it as soon as i can.

I did upload the latest working config, everything working properly, might need editing to retract the turret before a tool change.
It is under the second post, did not edit the first due to pictures and stuff.
