Mach3 Mazak Slant Turn 35 ATC retrofit using a C2000 Delta VFD and ASDA-A2 Drives and a CSMIO IP A (IO Extension and Encoder Extension)
Mach3 Mazak Slant Turn 35 ATC retrofit using a C2000 Delta VFD and ASDA-A2 Drives and a CSMIO IP A (IO Extension and Encoder Extension) I was part of a team that retrofitted an Old Mazak Slant turn 35 and my job was to make sure the ATC and other functionalities were required for the machine to run smoothly. At that time all the covers were removed so we jumped into the wiring. I don't have much expertise in the wiring but I learnt how to connect motors to drives and drives to the controller and same with the encoder. All required valve outputs were also connected together with signal inputs for limit switches as well as. Then came the creation of the code to run the ATC and I didn't know how valves worked and even run two that push the hydraulic in opposite directions till one overheated. When I realized that I had to turn one off to actuate the other I started to get things moving. I got the ATC to rotate on either side which involves using one valve to allow movement then tw...
