Yes I have the older control then. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about my machine. So on my 640 control there is only an MF1 key. Ok well at least now I have my answer. Reboot Thanks for your help guys

Oh you so funny :0, I inadvertantly jogged my Z axis when the air hose touched the knob No harm no foul but I did get the alam. So tell me where the MF2 key is guys

Does anyone out there know the procedure from recovering from machine faults other than rebooting the entire system. Everytime I have the slightest bump the machien faults out and I cant clear the alarm message. Running a Mazak quick turn Nexus 200ms. In fact I have a few questions for anyone that is an expert operator. I'm faily new to Mazak and get stuck every now and then. Could use a reliable source to guide me in the right direction from time to time.

i'll give it a try. thanks

Very nice illustration Josh. I was playing with the stock model last night and I had problems with the stock model wanting to stay permanantly displayed. How do you toggle the on and off of the stock model?

You could always lie to the software and create geometry for a finish toolpath that will respond the way you want it. You can adjust the lead in feedrate to your desire.

Edit the post, search for G55, Then change all the offsets to read G54, There are other methods but this is simple. Now keep in mind if you do this you will never be able to post G55 until you re edit the post again. As far as your program, if you don't change the work offset value in your wcs manager you should maintain a G54 condition.

Just to update this for other people I finally got my G55 to G59 issue relolved. My 640t control initially boots up by default with G53 and G54 By commanding G52 then the machine will allow G55 to G59 work offset commands. When your in G53 the control ignores any G55 to G59 work offset request.

Yup I agree with ll of you but I didn't get to where I am by giving up so I will fight that fight. I do appreciate all your input. I will let it rest for now and do what needs to be done. If you guys ever have the opportunity to use subroutines in your same program you would love it. Trust me. Even mastercam posts the m98 code as your main program and puts the subs in order at the bottom. I just freakin love this sh$@%t.

OK Mazakers, I finally got my G55 to G59 issue relolved. My 640t control initially boots up by default with G53 and G54 By commanding G52 then the machne will allow G55 commands.\ When your in G53 the control ignores any G55 to G59 work offset request. Now I need to get this Internal subroutine issue resolved. I tried the formats given to me but the machine never makes it down to read the N100 sub program call. This is what I did...........Please advise O5555 (PROGRAM NAME - TEST) (DATE - JAN. 31 2013 TIME - 3:47 PM) G20 (TOOL - 9 OFFSET - 9) (35 DEG. VNMG 331 FINISH TURN INSERT - ) G28 U0. W0.

I like rum and diet, talls please.

I saw a few end mills in GrabCad. Its a start I suppose

Hello Joe, I have been trying to PM you but your account says you cant receive any more messages. Might check into that. Rotary Ninja tells me your the Mazak guy with all the answers. I'm looking at your program and it looks like your program is for Mill work. I am trying to run the lathe and I tried the above sample but it didn't work. I cant even get my machine to accept a G55. Does it have to have a G55.1 or G55,2? I have a Mazak Nexus with a 640t control
