Hi,
My Mazak V5 has been down for a few years. First for brushes on the
spindle motor and then a much more serious broken belleville stack.
Unfortunately, the spindle on this model comes out from the top which
means pulling all the hydraulics and the spindle motor/transmission and
getting them out of the way. I don't see that is it possible to replace
the stack w/o fussing with all of the above.
Note: I'm 4 score and 4 and not as energetic as I used to be.
A couple of solutions present themselves but neither are ideal.
Simply use the M6 shcs that hold the dogs in place to secure the CAT40.
Balance and adequate strength/safety would seem to present problems.
The other solution is to simple punt and epoxy a CAT40 in place and live
with the restrictions.
Candidate CAT40 is a SK16 with holders for end mills up to M16 and at
least consider adding an ER20//ER16 with a M16 stub (custom dia) to
drill/ream. I have sets of ER20 and ER16 collets.
Note: spindle is 4000 rpm and 5 HP geared.
If anyone has a better idea I'm all ears.
As usual TIA: I seem to be out of easy/ideal solutions.
Dave
