Hello friend.
I am a Mazak user too and i think that you cannot do this kind of operation. But if you explain me better what do you want to do maybe i can give you an answer.
Can anyone tell me please can you threadmill on a mazak lathe with t plus control, and if so , HOW ? thanks
Hello friend.

To threadmill you have to have three axis's. Does your QT have a Y axis? otherwise you need to single point thread or tap.
The only way to do 3 axis milling in Mazatrol is with manual units - or EIA subs if you have that option on your lathe.
We do Helical arcs with the arc center as the center of the part all day long - milled higbees on large pitch threads. For those moves it's a simple G1 Z-whatever C-450. and it's done.
As for off center threads, I don't know if g12.1 will allow helical arcs, but if so then it would be simple... if not and you're really clever(or if you use CAM software) you could interpolate what you want with G1 moves... so... it is definitely possible, but not necessarily practical.
What kind of machine? Integrex, SQT????
SQT... if it was an Integrex there would be no reason to ask how to threadmill... Just as it would be pointless if the machine had a Y axis.
I'm talking C, X and Z only... you know... T plus, like gcc said.
I don't have a T-plus 3 axis lathe, but i am thread milling with a T-3 and a T-32-3. Slant turn 35 & 40 M/C.
Hi,
Has any one tried wireless DNC on Mazak T Plus ?
If yes, which wireless hardware & Software has been used ?
