Mazak Lathe Barriers T2 T3 Control. Here is a short video about what I know about setting the chuck and tailstock barriers on the T-2 and T-3 controls.
The chuck Z/X-barriers (without jaws) are always in the same place. Use the same numbers in all programs. The data of jaw-settings are added to the Z and then sets the barriers. X-data are from centre-line.
Hi Phill, Thanks for the useful materials. Maybe you could do something about TPC, or write conventional processes, for example for grasper or bumper. I would be grateful. Best wish, Sebastian
Unfortunately, my old controller does not have TPC ability. Mazak added that on the T32 control. I am going to do some videos on programming with the manual processes used for bar pulling and other operations. Thanks.
Hi phill Nice video,s your making I learned a lot about it. I have a question about a mazak lathe i am looking to buy. While testing i could run the machine on hand over its X+ limit and stall the drive. Is this something that i can limit by setting a barrier?
Also check setting on soft-limit barrier. If a X-axis brake slips while powered off, it will go into soft-limit before it reaches the zeropoint-return position. Then you must increase the value on that parameter and make the zero-point return. After that you must set parameter back to original value. If you forget that it will hit hard-limit on rapid-feed/hand-operating even if you make a zeropoint-return first.
So you don’t know how to set the Barrier for the chuck or tail stock . Not a good thing . When I went to Mazak school that’s the first thing they tough us so we didn’t crash the machine into the chuck or tail stock.
I thank you so much for doing this so many ppl need this and you are a pro thank you and may the Lord richly bless you and your family
Thanks. You're welcome.

Oh wow, and here I though some of my Mazak controllers were old!

You need to home the machine first after you power it up. After the machine homes it self, then it will not hard overtravel and stall the drive.
Also check setting on soft-limit barrier.
If a X-axis brake slips while powered off, it will go into soft-limit before it reaches the zeropoint-return position.
Then you must increase the value on that parameter and make the zero-point return.
After that you must set parameter back to original value.
If you forget that it will hit hard-limit on rapid-feed/hand-operating even if you make a zeropoint-return first.
can you please do a step by step video on how to set offsets z, x and g54 on the mazatrol ? Thanks
hi again. our machines in factory have many crash because of barrier cancel. your video very very helpful but i cant find chuck-z in mazatrol t plus
Sorry it's been a long time since I have ran a T+. I don't know the specifics on barriers.
very nice it very helpfull we dont know about that. by the way chek your email please
Ok. Thanks.
