Difference between T32-2 and T32-B

[mbpp]

Hi I have a Mazak QT15N with T32-2 control. I programme it using G-codes (ISO) and I never use Mazatrol beacuse I don't know how. Anyway I'm very happy with it. I can type the programmes on my computer and send them to the machine and vice-versa. Works very well. I would like to get another one. I've just noticed a Hyundai QT-15N with T32-B control. Looking at the pictures it looks like it's the same machine with a slightly different controller. What I'm wondering is if the controller is much different to the one that i allready have ? if i got it would i be able to programme it in ISO ?

Thanks,
Mark.

T32B is a stripped down T32 that has limited memory, amber CRT and cannot be upgraded to T32-2. It also cannot run EIA (G-code) as it is not an option on that hardware version.

Thanks very much Mr. Mazak,
that rules out that one then. If you could let me know which controllers have EIA (G-code) as standard. I'm not interested in Matrix yet ! So T32-2 has it as standard or an option ? T-Plus ? Fusion ?

Thanks for your help, at least I'll know what I'm looking for.

EIA was an option on lathes for T32 T+ Most don't have it but you could add it. My M640MT Integrex has it but I am not sure about a garden variety lathe with a M640. (most mills ship with it as standard) Good Luck, take some time to learn Mazatrol, you won't want g-code after you do.
