Hey guys,
We have a Mazatrol 640T control on our SQT250MS lathe. The hard drive was going out so I backed it up and ordered a new one from mazak. I loaded everything (user para, machine para, etc.) back onto it. Everything seems to be working fine except a glitch when entering the tool data - see pic. When the operator hit "input" for tool #2, it completely removed tool #9. Its not always tool #9 disappearing and it not always when inputting tool #2. Its very random. The only way to get the tool # back is to cycle NC power. It doesn't really seem to matter because it will just do it again with a different tool.
I've been working with Mazak and he's had me reinitialize the control with no progress. I'm still waiting to find out if he has anything else for me to try.
I'm out of ideas. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
