Planning to Retrofit a Mazak Integrex200Y Mill-Turn Machine

Hello,

this is just outstanding! Also thank you so much for the Fanuc  tool change example!

I could only try it out for one hour so far and I'm just amazed by the work and effort you done. Without your support, my decision of retrofitting this machine probably would be different! I also tried M19 R180. Worked flawlessly.

And as you correctly predicted i have a few questions so far:

1. Tool table:

The "Orient" and the "Diameter" for turning tools: Is it just informative, or is it used by some background calculations?

2. Tool rescue:

Assuming a drill or end mill doesn't sound right during milling and i stop the programming and want to retract it. When die B-axis is not at 0° it's quite difficult to get the tool out of a hole/pocket without braking it. A function to move the X axis at an B angle would be helpful for this.

That's it so far. I will try and implement the Fanuc tool change tomorrow and see where this will go. Again thank you so much and amazing work
