Question about MAZAK VARIAXIS 500-5X II

[longgo]

Hi to all,

I had a few question.

1) Is it possible to edit worktime diagram dbase ?

2) Have anybody know,is it there any posibilities to write my own macro program and to asign it to G code.
i.e: G111 <-> M98P111 (some kind of positioning)

3) Is anyone know , is it possible to copy some kind of cycles from another machine.In example G84 function.I had trouble,that it makes G74 cycle as it must be done , but in G84 at the end of tapping it not reverse the spindel.It just go back to R point without change rotate direction.I think that is software problem,but i appraise all advice!

Thanks!

First, what control do you have?

Question 1: Not sure what you're wanting to do here.

Question 2: Yes. Pull out your parameter list book. The "J" parameter control the use of custom G and M codes. Not sure on Matrix though... don't have that control. But still, it will be listed in the parameter book.

Question 3: Your parameter is not set for G84. Right now its set for "compression" type tapping. Switch over to use G84.2 . That should do what you want....

My control is exactly the same like this : http://www.johnhart.com.au/machine_t...trix/index.php
----MAZATROL MATRIX-----

I program into EIA/ISO mode. I try with parameters that was described in program book , but nothing happend.let me to explain abot G84.
In MDI mode , when I write G91G74G98R-1.Z-10.H0F100S100M04 , machine start to rotate spindel to M04 direction , when achieve Z-10.(mm) it change spindel direction to M03 , go back to R point , change againt to M04 and wait another command.When type G91G84G98R-1.Z-10.H0F100S100M03 , it start rotating , but when achieve desired Z-10.(mm) it just go back without give any alarm and NOT change to M04 rotate direction at bottom.In all cycle it rotate in M03 and when go back from bottom , simply broke the tap.?! The same happend when i use G84.2 , G84.3.
That make me to think that it is software problem,because the other type of mazak , which we have in factory are with M640 type of CNC ,and have not that problem - they just make G84 as is in that format : G84 G98 Z.. R.. F.. .We write a mail to Mazak main office but if anyone had a suggestion , i'll try it with plesure!

Thanks!

Where are you located?? With the Matrix control, I suspect your machine is still under warranty... and since you're just now finding out about a tap problem, I suspect the machine is a fairly new install. You need to call your distributor on the phone and get someone out there pronto.... don't write to them. I'm suspecting a ladder issue.... another thing though....

G91G74G98R-1.Z-10.H0F100S100M04

You shouldn't need a M04 in this line. Should only have to use this:
G91G74G98R-1.Z-10.H0F100S100

Same with the G84.. shouldn't have to use the M03 in the line.

Maybe something something strange is just happening in MDI... Try it like this:

G91
M03S100
G84G98R-1.Z-10.F100

My boss today says that it is some possibilities to come someone from main office and i think reinstalling of CNC will fix the problem. Who knows :-) , and You are right - it is still under warranty.
The example : G91G74G98R-1.Z-10.H0F100S100M04 - i just try it in MDI mode,but the problem exist and when is posted in program like this:
**In standart program (in other Mazaks) we use - that is symply an example***

N..T..M06(standart tap M2.5)
S100 M3
G56 G90 G80 G40 G0 X.. Y.. A..C..
G43 Z10. H5 M8
#1 = 0
WHILE [#1 LE 240] DO 1
C#1 G60
G84 G98 Z-10. R1. F45 (If i forgot H0 , had alarm message in my machine)
G80
#1 = #1 + 120
END1
G0 Z120.
N..T..M6
------
And all is OK..

Thanks for advice for now and good luck!!

I'm back :-) Actually the problem was fixed. I have not any idea , from where , but come one Japon electrical engineer. He reinstall software (loader and some another soft in CNC i have't idea what) and all now is OK!
