Mazak Variaxis 500 Z axis problem-FIX
EN - If you own, or use Mazak Variaxis 500-5AX maybe hit the wall with one quite strange problem - if you work with Z axis lowered down close or after the table center sometimes you`ve got “overload Z” alarm. In our case was profile tool about 20mm taking no more than 1-2mm. In the time of the problem machine was still under guarantee but replacing servo block, setting lower speed in parameters and so on didn`t bring constant problem remove.
The solution was really strange - just zip tie the back response plug to be sure is not vibrating. I suspect high frequency signal going with error check and small vibration make the contacts to loose grip for ms or something like that.
Anyway, using that small “cheat” and you`ll get rid of the problem (about 8years with no such)

CNC-router Project II
EN That are only 3D model and rendering of my next project idea of small engraving machine. Hope to build it, and as source for parts my plan - openbulid. That website offer not so expensive parts for that kind of “Lego for adults”

My CNC (ex)router
My project began just as most - from having fun of drawing
I found some material in internet and check others projects. Well, it turn to not be the breaking bone practice so i deside to order parts and to give it a try.

HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 elipse
Within the manual you can find the original version of that idea, but i decide to reduce it and rewrite it. Few changes and you can get it to be produced in desired direction as left2right or right2left, inside or outside.

HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 spiral outside to inside idea
That is my small idea for program, that produce horizontal XY spiral face clean. Analog to Cycle 5 but it work from outside to inside. Basic, that can use any tool to produce any diameter, but keep in mind that it is stupid to use 50mm to try spiral on 30mm surface. From other hand, with 20mm endmill is quite nice to produce 100mm cylinder face
Keep in mind also that depending of the tool size the start point can be very different. In example if we clean 65mm diameter with 20 or 10mm will give different start point and if there is jaw or something can be crashed or milled

iTNC 530 - test sphere program
The idea behind is to make half sphere only with small piece of code. In theory, should be possible just changing Q1 or the sphere radius , and to make any size.. Well, there should be additional milling if the sphere radius is 300mm, because of the material need to be clean. And that is only.. program for fun test, and somehow it was working on the programming station but not on real machine simulation, because of 530 NC model family difference.
