I am about to purchase a Mazak Integrex 200 IV S with sub spindle. Does anybody have any experience of programming this type of machine with Edgecam.

Does Edgecam handle the sub spindle ok, as well as doing true 5-axis work to both spindles.

If anyone has any edgecam files that i can play with it would be very helpful especially when it comes to creating my post.

I suppose it would be too much to ask if anyone has an Edgecam post for this machine. Apparently a lot of M codes have changed from the series III to series IV machines.

Look forward to your replies

EdgeCAM can program that machine with no trouble, I have made posts for similiar Sub-spindle mazaks, I think the model was a Integrex 400 ST. It had sub spindle and upper and lower turrets. Only live tooling on the upper ATC, the lower was a turret. EdgeCAM (as of right now) can only do true 4/5 axis cycles on the upper turret. In fact, I haven't come across a machine (yet) that does live tooling on the lower turret.

I have heard Espirit claim that they could program any mazak but i know customers still waiting on a post for over 8 months. Although they were promised one on a weeks time.

The Code Wizard gets you 98% there, right out of the box. I believe that I changed 3 things and it was more of a preference thing.

does anyone have a postprocessor for it?... pleeease :-)

Did you try the Post Wizard???

Hello Mike,
I've been trying to get in touch with you on messenger, but it seems like you haven't been there.
We talked about a post for integrex (and i need one for variaxis too), and i'd like to hear if you've got it
Best regards Allan :-)

Allan-
I don't have a Mazak Variaxis post... sorry. Did the Integrex post work for you?
