Ok I read a couple dozen posts and i see people with similar problems but I everyone was emailing info outside of here so I can not get the info of the forum I need. So here is my problem
I acquired the Mazak and SMW Bar feeder used and it came with no info. I tried calling SMW which is now owned by ATS and I was told tough luck that they don't support the machine anymore. My local Mazak distributor has someone who can help but he just had knee surgery and is out for a little bit. When he gets back I can get help but I don't know how long it will be.
My problem is the programming of the barfeeder in Mazatrol. I am very familiar with Mazatrol but I never used a bar feeder. I can get it to push the bar and open the chuck and push it to the stopper but I can not get it to close the chuck or stop pushing or whatever it needs to do to continue the machine just sits in cycle mode and does nothing.
I used the M68 to push it and that works but am I missing a code from the Barfeeder to tell the machine it is done? I also am not sure I have the reload program right either and not sure I have the EOB part correct. If anyone has an example of how to do this in Mazatrol let me know, I can not use EIA I do not believe this machine came with that option but I will check and I can use EIA if absolutely necessary.
Thanks!
