Hello,

we bought two mazak QT 20, one is T1 controller and one is T2 controller with tool setter and hydraulic chuck. Now both are OK, but we could not use them. I am used to use machining center, but it is my first time to use cnc lathe.

I start with the Mazak with T1 controller now.

for the T1 mazak, no tool setter, please can you help me to know how can I adjust all the tools geometry, offset, and the program origin.
do I need the measure the tools in z and x direction from the turret plane and the work origin from the chuck plane.
I do not have all the manuals for T1, I have the programming manual, it explains how to write a mazatrol program, but no any information how to set the tools and how to set the machine.

I wrote the mazatrol program following the manual, but I could not simulate it and if I put in automatic mode the machine does not move. I must add all the tools information, offsets and program origin before.

Thank you and best Regards from Tunisia.
