Thread: 510 C II EIA question.

I have been running a Mazak 510 C II for a couple of years now (Big difference from the M2 I was running)(Run both now) and I recently discovered the M152 load posision at end of program. That extra 2.3 inches in Y really saves on the back. My question is where do I go to change the X load posision? Sometimes when I have the Indexer and Tailstock in the machine it would be great to move the Y from -37.4 to Y-41.0 to help reach the Tailstock. I assume it has to be in Parameters somewhere. I can't find a macro.
Thanks.

I have looked for this also without any luck. Hope someone knows how to change it. I use M152 to end most programs because of the Y position. I've yet to be able to get the machine to move to that Y position when commanded other than M152.

It's really hard to believe on the Mazak Forum nobody has come up with an answer. Come on out there. There must be a retired Apps. Engineer out there. Please!

You guys are doing this in G code so just manually position the table where you would like it to be, read that X position on the machine position display and write this code at the end of the program...

G00 G90 G53 X(desired machine position)
M30

You will be making an absolute move from machine home so this number will not be affected by work offsets and the like.

Hope that helps.

Thanks SDI-Gary,

I use M152 because the Y position comes around 2" closer and makes it easier to unload. Sometimes you would like the X to come to a different spot but Y still come where M152 does. I cannot command the machine to move to this Y position without using M152, so that is why I would like to know where the parameters for it are and if they can be changed. Or, if there is a way to command to this Y position without alarming, then It would be easy to do as you suggested. M152 Y position comes past home position 2" or so.

Jelrod, can you try commanding the Y axis to that position while in the G53 coordinate system?

I will try it

I called Mazak, Atlanta, and it is an RF4 and RF5 paramater. changed the X to 41 inches. It worked. Unfourtunatly the M152 would not complete. Either in MDI or in a regular Eia program. Something in the Macro gets stuck.

Even in G53 it alarms if commanded anywhere past Y zero. You can then hit reset and command M152 and the table will come on back around 2.3 inches.
