Mazak AE

[jas6142]

I am looking for a Mazak applications guy or anyone that would be willing to part with a sample eia program for a hyper quadrex 200msy. Lets just say our reseller has been less than helpful with that. They make it sound like everybody uses mazatrol and nobody uses eia. no way that could be the case.

Have you tried calling Kentucky? Mazak's applications department is separate from the distributors, so you should be able to get somebody who can help. They have a lot of apps guys, so if you get one who can't help, just keep trying until you get one who can.

[jas6142]

Didn't even think about that. Just called them left a message, We'll see hopefully have better luck.

Thanks

What kind of examples are you looking for specifacally. I can put some stuff together if they do not get back to you. Also what controller is on the machine?

[jas6142]

I heard from them this morning. It is kind of funny I talked to Chicago and they said they don't know of anybody programming that machine in eia, then I talked to the the ae in Kentucky and he said he doesn't know of anybody using that machine with the Mazatrol, he said that it takes longer to cycle using Mazatrol so everyone uses eia. He sent some examples, haven't had a lot of time to look thru them yet. Jeremy, it has a matrix control. If you have any example you are willing to share that would be great. Especially part transfer.

This is a simple one I use with some descriptions

If the machine has a lower turret I a have one with wait codes and safety moves I can post

 

there is also a "push transfer" where it does a G31 with the sub spindle, but I do not like this method much.

 

 

Let me know if you need more explanation or examples.

 

 

 

HTH.

 

 

 

[jas6142]

Exactly what i was looking for thanks. machine has a lower turret, if you would be willing to share that would be great.

[Jeremy Herron@DBS Solutions™]

I did not have time to clean this one up as much but you get the idea. Let me know if you need more explantion.

I will also email you the entire program. It is actually for an integrex so ignore all the b axis moves in the milling sections. the rest of the code should be the same though.
