 I. MAZATROL PROGRAM CONFIGURATION

1. MAZATROL PROGRAM CONFIGURATION

MAZATROL programs are each made up of a set of data referred to as process.

The following types of processes are prepared for this NC equipment:

Common process
Materials shape process (MTR)
Bar-materials machining process (BAR)
Copy-machining process (CPY)
Corner-machining process (CNR)
Edge-machining process (EDG) Turning
Threading process (THR) process
Grooving process (GRV)
Drilling process (DRL)
Tapping process (TAP)
Manual program machining process (MNP)
M-code process (M)
Measurement process (MES)
Tool layout process (TLY)
Subprogram process (SUB)
End process (END)
 1. MAZATROL PROGRAM CONFIGURATION

Data to be set in the processes listed above is classified into the following three major types:
(a) Process data
Process data must be set on the line of PNo. * (* : Process number) of the PROGRAM
display. The data consists of data on the type of machining, the sections to be machined,
cutting conditions, machining tool numbers, etc.
(b) Sequence data
Sequence data must be set on the line of SEQ * (* : Sequence number) of the PROGRAM
display. The data consists mainly of data used to define machining patterns.
(c) TPC Data (Tool path control data)
TPC data is the auxiliary data to be set on the TPC display. The data consists of tool
pathltool change position adjustment data, M-codes, tool offset numbers, etc. Tool paths
are automatically generated according to the data set on the PROGRAM display and
various parameters. TPC data is intended to eliminate unnecessary paths by changing
thus-generated tool paths on a process-by-process basis. Machining itself, therefore, will be
executed even if TPC data is not set.

Specific details and setting procedures of each data are described in Chapter 3. Here (Chapter
I ) , you should understand what types of processes and data constitute a program.
 2. PROGRAM COORDINATE SYSTEM

2. PROGRAM COORDINATE SYSTEM

In general, machining dimensions on a drawing are indicated as the distances from a specific
reference point. Likewise, within a program, a machining pattern is defined by setting the
coordinates from a specific reference point. This reference point is referred to as the program
origin and the coordinate system based on the program origin is referred to as the program
coordinate system.
For MAZATROL programs, the following coordinate system is used to define machining patterns:

Program origin
+X

T3P001

The program origin of X-Z-coordinates system can be set anywhere on the center line of the
workpiece. Usually, however, the crossing point of the center line of the workpiece and its
finishing edge surface should be taken as the program origin. The program origin of C-axis
(rotational axis) can be set at any position convenient for programming. For MAZATROL
programs, set X-coordinates as diameter data. That is, the workpiece diameter indicated on the
drawing must be set as it is.

Example:
For the workpiece shape shown in the diagram on
the right:
The coordinates (x, z) of point A are (50, 20), and
the coordinates (x, z) of point B (20, 30).

Notes:
1. For manual program machining processes (MNP), milling manual program machining
processes (MMP) and edge-machining processes (EDG), the direction of Z-axis is opposite
to the one shown in the diagram above. See the relevant items in Chapter 3 for further
details.
2. Refer to the sections of milling processes for details on the (optional) C- and Y-axes.

 3. PROGRAM CREATION

3. PROGRAM CREATION

Both the program data and sequence data within a MAZATROL program must be set o n the
PROGRAM display, and TPC data must be set on the TPC display. The TPC display is called
up from the PROGRAM display.
This section first describes general procedures and precautions related to creating a
MAZATROL program and then describes detailed procedures for setting each type of program
data on a process-by-process basis.

displayed.
* The work-Nos. listing window refers to a window that displays a list of work numbers of the

programs that have already been registered in the NC equipment.

3 Set the work number of the creating program.

- A work number is a number to be assigned to a program for identification of the program.

Any number from 1 to 9999 can be used as a work number.
- If a work number already registered in the NC unit is set, that program will be displayed on
the screen. To create a new MAZATROL program, therefore, you must set a work number
not used in other programs.
You can check the work-Nos. listing window or the PROGRAM FlLE display to see which
work numbers are not yet used.

-The line that immediately succeeds the last sequence data line will be displayed as a
process data line.
- For a process that permits you to set more than one line of sequence data, you cannot
select the next process unless you carry out this operation (pressing the SHAPED END
menu key).

Select the processes required for the intended machining operation by repeating steps
8 6 and 7 above (including steps 7-1, 7-2 and 7-3), and then set data in each of the items
displayed on the screen.

- A selectable process differs according to the type of product to be machined. Select a

process in the most suitable order in accordance with your machining drawing, process
sheet, etc.
After process selection, the program can be generated just by setting data as guided by
messages.

9 Set the end process at the end of the program.

- Press the END menu key.

- Without the end process, the program will not be regarded as a complete one. Therefore,
you must set the end process at the last line of the program.

10 Set data in each item of the end process.

- See the section "End Process (END)" for details of the data to be set.
 3. PROGRAM CREATION

Notes:
1. If your NC unit has only standard functions, one MAZATROL program can contain a
maximum of 99 processes, including the common process and the end process. For
processes that allow you to set multiple lines of sequence data, up to a maximum of 25
lines of sequence data can be registered per process (for manual program machining
process only, up to a maximum of 250 lines of sequence data can be registered).
2. The shape data that you have set can be checked for errors by calling up the SHAPE
CHECK display while you are creating the program. See the Operating manual for details.
3. For the following processes, TPC data can be set as required:
Bar-materials machining process (BAR)
Copy-machining process (CPY)
Corner-machining process (CWR)
Edge-machining process (EDG)
Threading process (THR)
Grooving process (GRV)
Drilling process (DRL)
Tapping process (TAP)
Measurement process (MES)
See "TPC DATA SETTING" for further details of the data to be set.
 3. PROGRAM CREATION

3-1 Common Process

The common process is the first to be placed in a MAZATROL program, and always takes
process number 0.
Data that is set in this process is referred to as common data, which becomes the base data for
the entire program. When creating a MAZATROL program, therefore, you must first set data in
this process.

The following menu will be displayed when the cursor is placed at this item:

CBN STL ALY STL CST IRN ALUMINUM STAINLS

From the menu, select the materials type of the workpiece to be machined. The individual
data of the displayed menu denote the following materials types:
CBN STL : Carbon steel for machine structure
ALY STlL : Chromium molibdenum steel
CST IRN : Gray cast iron
ALUMINUM : Aluminum and aluminum alloys
STAINLS : Stainless steel
If the workpiece to be machined is of a materials type other than those listed above, pre-
register that materials type on the CUTTING CONDITION (MATERIAL) display. See the
Operating manual for details.
The data of this item is referred to by the system during automatic setting of cutting
conditions.
 3. PROGRAM CREATION

(4).

(5) RPM
If the maximum spindle speed is to be limited, set that maximum value. Data does not need
be set if the spindle speed is permitted to reach the maximum value provided for in the
specifications.
This data has no relation to the milling axial velocity.

T4P018

- Set the finishing allowance for the X-axis direction in terms of diameter data.
-These values are used for bar-machining processes (BAR), copy-machining processes
(CPY), edge-machining processes (EDG), or corner-machining processes (CNR).
 3. PROGRAM CREATION

(8) WORK FACE

Set the length of the workpiece edge protrusion in the Z-axis direction.

-The workpiece edge protrusion refers to a section to be cut during an edge-machining

process (EDG).
For processes other than edge-machining processes, the protrusion is not regarded as part
of the workpiece.
Therefore, if the workpiece edge is to be cut (that is, if a value other than 0 is set for this
item), an edge-machining process must be selected before selecting a process involving
other machining operations.
Either 0 or a plus value must always be set for this item.
 3. PROGRAM CREATION

3-2 Materials Shape Process (MTR)

The shapes of cast materials or forged materials cannot be defined using the common process
alone. To machine such molded materials, the materials shape process must be selected
following the common process and the shape data of the materials to be machined must b e set.
Only the outside-diameter shape and inside-diameter shape of the intended workpiece can be
defined using the materials shape process. Data that has been set in this process, as with
common data, becomes base data for the entire program. This process cannot be selected for
round-bar materials.
Press the WORKPICE SHAPE menu key to select the materials shape process.

3-2-1 Setting process data

Description
(1) MODE
The following menu will be displayed when the cursor is placed at this item.

- OUT

- q 2 i
- Select OUT to define the outside-diameter shape of the workpiece.
- Select IN to define the inside-diameter shape of the workpiece.
Both OUT and IN can be defined using a maximum of 25 sequences.
You must first select OUT, however, when defining both the outside-diameter and inside-
diameter shapes of a workpiece. That is, after selecting the materials shape process as
both processes IVo. 1 and No. 2, define the outside-diameter shape using process IVo. 1
and then define the inside-diameter shape using process No. 2.

Precautions for BAR process

Some parts may remain uncut because of the tool shape.
For a tool having a cutting-edge angle of A and a subsidiary cutting-edge angle of C, uncut
portions occur at an angle of A - 3" in the machining direction and an angle of C - 3" in an
opposite direction because machining will occur generally with an angle margin of 3".

Notes:
1. During sequence of GOO, the axis movement will be carried out at the rapid feedrate
preset in the specifications. The feedrate you set in this item is valid only for sequences
corresponding to your selection of either G01, G02, G03, G32 or G34.
2. Feedrate preset remains valid until new data is set.
3. If you have selected either G32 or G34 for item (1) above, set a lead for the threads.
(Lead) = (Pitch) X (Number of threads)

(8) M
When an M-code (auxiliary function code) is to be used, set the number of that M-code.
The M-code you set in this item becomes valid onlv for the next and subsequent
sequences.

Note:
If a feedrate is to be set in mmlrev or inchlrev units for the next sequence, you must first
select either M03 (forward rotation of the spindle) or M04 (reverse rotation of the spindle),
unless the rotational direction of the spindle with respect to the tool to be used has been
specified on the TOOL DATA (2) display.

(9) OFS
If tool offsetting is to be done using either one of the offset amounts registered on the TOOL
OFFSET display, set the offset number corresponding to the desired offset amount.
During tool offsetting, the offset data specified in this item (9) will be added to the WEAR
COMP. data on TOOL DATA (1) display.

Note:
Nose R offsetting cannot be performed for manual program machining.

If not all of the intended M-codes are to be executed at the same time, therefore, divide
them into three groups (#1 through #4, #5 through #8, and #9 through #12) and then set
those M-codes separately.

Note:
For the list of M-codes provided in the NC system, see the M-code list given below.
Of all listed M-codes, those which can be actually selected differ according to the particular
specifications of your machine.
The M-codes M02 (Program End), M98 (Subprogram Call), or other dedicated M-codes for
EIAIISO program cannot be selected.
All M-codes, including those for software options, are listed in the M-code list.
