Hi Ivan,

That’s exactly what I need. Could you merge the logic with my post? 
 

Thanks

Try dragging and dropping it into Mastercam? 

Hi Ivan,

That might work.

Hi Ron,

I've attached my Z2G file. I included my post (that I've poked around in), unaltered 3 axis post, and unaltered MpMaster post. It doesn't work properly in any of the 3. 

Thank you!

STRIPPED.MCAM-CONTENT

I use air blast on a drill/mill for chamfers and flood coolant for engraving. When moving from chamfers to engraving without forcing a tool change, I can get the flood coolant to turn on appropriately but I can't get the air blast to turn off before flood turns on. If I select air off/before and flood on/with, the coolant codes repeat after null tool change event. 

Both Generic 3 Axis.pst and MpMaster.pst give me the similar results.

Has anyone written logic for the pcant_out postblock to handle this?

Thanks

MpMaster

Only one generation of Mazak controls on our vertical mills have support for a #3020 variable. H(#51999) works for the 3 we have (Fusion 640 MN, Matrix, Smooth). I'll check the other configurations and update.

Thanks!!

Good Morning All,

I work at a job shop where we use Mazatrol for all 2.5 axis work on our vertical mills and then sub out to .EIA for any 3D milling or Dynamic Toolpaths. The issue I run into is specifying a tool number in a Mastercam program and making that jive with the tool numbers at each machine. Generally, I either have to wait for the tooling to be loaded into the machine for the actual tool number or force the guys at the machine to change their tool layouts to match the program. Ideally, I would like to have a Mazatrol Manual call for a tool and then run the sub from there. A variable that could read what the actual tool number in the spindle is could then be output with every T, H and D in place of the tool number used in Mastercam. Is there a preset Variable on a Mazak that would return this? I think setting it up in the post would be easy enough?

Thanks in advance.

Yes,  we spoke with a service tech yesterday who helped us get all the parameters set and we will start off slow. 

Thanks for the help!!

It's a Mazak Integrex I 300 with the Matrix control. I thought TPC would handle it for me as long as I program about the center of rotation but wanted to be sure.

Good Morning All,

I'm as new as can be to programming 5 axis machines. My question is this:

Do I need to use precise tool length measurements in Mastercam when programming for this machine, or does the TPC (G43.4) option at the control compensate for differing tool lengths? 

First of all, I want to thank you all for your support. I've learned a great deal about editing posts from reading through the forums. however, I am now stuck....lol

I'm programming a Kuraki HBM, Fanuc style code, with a rotating table. The spindle moves in "Z" and the entire column moves in "W". The machine came with a built in macro that synchronizes Z and W so that we can choose which axis we want to move when drilling, tapping, etc. What I'm trying to set up is a "miscellaneous function" (mi4) switch so I can choose which positioning method I want to apply so I don't have to manage two posts(I also program a Femco HBM, Fanuc, with the same definition/post). Below is the NC statement as we want it to read for our purposes, a copy of the edits I have made attempting it and a copy of the NC code it is generating. A little more info to help....the controller uses G143 in place of G43, and A54.(55.,56.,etc) (with decimal) in place of G54 (55.,56.,etc) when it sets up the macro. I also have to disengage the macro with G149 instead of G49. The NC statement as we want it to read:

G90

G143 A54. X-19.135 Y7.355 Z2. W-5. H1 S1000 M3

Z and W would be commented in as "0", so that the operator has control over the spindle projection

The NC code it is generating:

Note I have several problems here...The first block is supposed to use a normal positioning technique, but I changed the sign for G_WCS to "A" to get the macro to post correctly. I can change this back to "G" and comment in the "A54." (barely have need of more than one work coordinate), but I don't know how to make the decimal appear in this location only. Second, the first block of code should have canceled cutter length with the normal G49 but it seems to be reading from the next operation? The second block posts correctly, except for that decimal point. Here are the sections of my post as I have it now:

psof$ #Start of file for non-zero tool number

pcuttype

toolchng = one

if ntools$ = one,

[

#skip single tool outputs, stagetool must be on

stagetool = m_one

!next_tool$

]

pbld, n$, *smetric, e$
