PP - M67 Mazak

  General Information

The M67_Mazak standard is based on the M67_Fanuc post-processor.   The standard has three configuration pages to manage all options available. The first page “CNC Controller” is about CNC options. The second page “Milling” allows to adapt the output for Milling, tools, coolant and origins. The third page “Milling” is about 5 axis parameters.

1.2          CNC Controller - Program number defined by

 1.3          CNC Controller - Program Name as comment

1.4          CNC Controller - Use G10 to manage origins

 2   Milling page

2.1          Milling – Output Stock for CNC Simulation

2.2          Milling – Output Tool and Plane for all operations 

 2.3          Milling – Use Parameters for Feed

2.4          Tool Option – Output Tool List

2.5          Tool Option – Tool Change

 2.6          Tool Option – Preselect First Tool after Last Tool

2.7          Tool Option – Tool Change in

2.8          Origin Option – Output Origin List

Origin Option

2.9          Origin Option – Multi Origin Management

Without MTE :

If the option is set to “Origin Only” for each origin define on the part, we will output a different G code, G54, then G55, G56 … It means you are limited by the number of origin managed by the CNC. If you can have more origin, you must use the second option “Origin + Offset”

If the option is set to “Origin + Offset” it will only output G54 and offset with G52

With MTE :

The origin can be define in the name of the origin with the following syntax “$G54_”. It means G54 will be used in the NC program. If there is no decoded name define, it will output the default origin G54.

If you use “Origin + Offset”, you must use only one origin for all your operation because all the offset are compute from the reference plane origin or single origin.

You can add every text after the underscore to recognized your offset “$G54_Up”, “$G54_Right”, …

With 5 axis machine :

The origin offset is output with the tilted plane function G68.1 if is set to be output. So it means no G52 is output.

 2.10       Coolant Option – Coolant Activation Position

3      Milling 5X

3.1          Milling 5X Parameters – Use Tilted work Plane for 3+2 Axis

3.2          Milling 5X Parameters – Lock 1^st Rotation Axis

3.3          Milling 5X Parameters – Lock 2^nd Rotation Axis

3.4          Milling 5X Parameters – Unlock 1^st Rotation Axis

3.5          Milling 5X Parameters – Unlock 2^nd Rotation Axis

3.6         Fixed blocks for plane change - Active fixed blocks for plane change

This option is used only if there is no kinemac defined in the machine configuration.

3.7         Fixed blocks for plane change - First and second

To avoid the standard output, check the option to activate the fixed blocks and keep the first and second block fields empty.

4     Launch page

With machine kinematic defined	Without machine kinematic defined

4.1          Name of the NC File         

Define here the Name of the generated NC file. The extension must to be defined in the MCF configuration.

4.2          Program Number

If 0 is defined, the program Number will be set to 1.

4.3         Origin Number

This parameter is use only if kinematic is not defined in the machine file. The parameter defines the first origin used in the NC program.

If the parameter to treat multi origin is set on “Origin Only” the origin number is incremented when a plane changes.
