Mazak help issues

[dcarrillo]

Hello every one I am having an issue with running EIA/ISO on my Mazak. I am trying to use G71, G72, and G76 but it throws an alarm saying option not found. I am thinking it’s a parameter thing but not sure. Has anyone ran into this issue. Please help thank you.

I have also had this issue, the Mazaks that I have used do not accept canned turning cycles. When threading I change the NC code format to longhand on the thread cut parameters page and just avoid using canned cycles for turning.

I used canned turning all the time.  What machine/control?

There are a few differences in input than Fanuc, can you share a file and a picture of the diagnosis screen with the alarm?

It gives me 936 option not found.

I don't know about the alarm but there are no block numbers in the program.  It has to have block numbers to know where the start and end of the pattern are.

I have to agree the canned cycles must have block number to know what liens define the shape they are cutting without them they will not work.

The example shown only has G76 canned cycles (these do not require or use the P and Q block numbers)

The error  "936 option not found" has the answer to your problem; read as option not purchased.

Some of those older Mazak lathes wont even read G Code, BTW you get the same error on those.
