mazak QT 20 T1 controler programming, how to set tools and work origin
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.
