Question about reading program for a 2 spindle 2 turret CNC mill turn lathe

Jody7818 · Jun 15, 2015

Specifically, the machine I'm using is a Mori Seiki NZ2000 2 turret 2 spindle mill turn lathe.

So I'm reading the program, and I can't decipher how the machine knows to use tool 1 on turret 1 instead of using tool 1 on turret 2.

Could anyone shed some light on this?

Does your Mori only use one program? On the Nakamura I run it has an upper and lower program so the upper tool offsets are tied to the upper and the lower offsets to the lower program. When a tool is facing the subspindle you add 30 to the offset. (T0434)

Ok...that makes sense. Ours has an upper and lower program as well. So basically each turret has it's own program...correct?

As far as I know yes.Does it have a fanuc control?

Path 1 controls the upper turret. Path 2 controls the lower turret. We have a NZX 2500, and ours works like that. Yours probably does also. Just like Kevin 66 writes, add 30 to your tool number and offset when working on spindle two.

Kevin66...yes, it has a fanuc control.

Thanks guys...it makes sense now.
