    Question C Hook

    I've heard there is a c-hook for Mastercam that will post a Mazak nc program from a Mastercam file? Can anybody point me in the right direction to getting this c-hook.

    TIA

    This company should have what you are looking for, http://www.camaix.com/English/indexeng.htm
    But i think there is a postprocessor not a c-hook.

    If you serch for "mastercam native mazatrol" there name keep popping up.
    I now there is a way to get mazatrol out because i have tested it my self a couple of years ago on a mazak vtc20b.

    Good luck

    Are you talking about a Mazatrol program being output from MasterCam? I guess it's possible but I've never seen anything like it. If that is what you are looking for then I have to ask ....WHY? If you are creating your toolpaths and operations in Mastercam, why would you want to output it in Mazatrol?

    Posting G-code [EIA] for the Mazak is the most common method and it works great.

    If it's an older Mazak, you may have to pay for the ability to read g-code.
