Mazak M32 control freezing after drip feeding

[Smit]

Our Mazak MT-V515 with Mazatrol M32 control freezes after running a drip feed program. The memory on this machine is only like 46 kb so drip feeding is kind of a big deal.

The operator has to completely power the machine off then reboot from the power off position.

I've tried both an M30 and M99 to end the program but they both yield the same result.

Thanks for any replies!

Could need an ascii code at the end of drip feed:

Try an ASCII 003 at the end of file. This is one unprintable character so if you can get your dnc software to put it in that would be best.

 A bunch of NULLS wouldn't hurt either.

It seems the Mazak requires an M02 at the end of a drip feed program.

Added that and it ran super.

Just in case it helps somebody in the future...

I was just about to chime in with "M02"!

Glad you got it sorted out...
