Tool eye adjustment

In regards to the tool eye, I suspect that someone bumped the turret and moved it out of alignment. That could be why your parts are undersize. Take a facing cut on some material. If there is a protrusion in the center, then the tool is not on the center line of the spindle. After the turret checks out O. It should have two small flats on it that can be used to indicate from. Mount the indicator on the turret and move the X-axis with the handwheel.

There is an adjustment for the tool eye in the up and down direction. The middle of the sensor should be where the tool touches off. On the top cover, opposite of the motor, there is an eccentric pin. It has two holes for a pin spanner wrench and another hole for a split pin. It is threaded in the middle and there is also a small set screw on the side of the cover to hold it in place.

This eccentric pin is the positive stop for the tool eye in the down position. By rotating this pin with a pin spanner, you can adjust the height of the tool sensor. If this eccentric pin has a roll pin holding it in place, then you will have to use a slide hammer and screw it into the tapped hole in the center. Pull out the entire eccentric pin, remove the roll pin from the casting and then reinsert the eccentric pin. After it is adjusted, use the set screw on the side of the cover to hold it and then re-pin it with a roll pin.

Before setting any tool eye parameters, open the tool data page and make sure the tool eye compensation TL EYE CM is set to zero for each tool. Also, set any offsets to zero.

Tool eye adjustment in the y axis Hey guys so I have an integrex with upper and lower turrets. My tool eye is off it the y axis. So the tips of the tools barely touch the sensor. Now I spoke to Mazak and they said to use the adjustment cam screw to essentially tilt the arm up but the problem Im having with this is that it puts the z axis sensor off in the y axis so a tool tip measures different than an endmill by a little.

Now I measured and I have over. The error is over. There are 2 joints I see bolted that I could shift but one seems doweled in place and the other definitely does not have the adjustment I need. Aprox 3mm or. One is where the arm attached and the other is behind that arm under the Chuck. But once I got that settled indicating on the tool eyes in y axis Im getting. How the heck do they set these things up in the factory? Seems to be little to no places for adjustment.
