Mazak Integrex 640MT sub spindle program

[ernieflash]

Does any body have a sample program in EIA/ISO
something that transfers a part from main to sub
i cannot find it in my manuals plenty for mazatrol but not EIA
Thanks

When we got our Integrex with the newer Smooth X control back in 2017, the very knowledgeable Apps guy that was training me said it was a whole lot easier to transfer parts to the sub using a Mazatrol program vs EIA. He said run the first side in EIA, call up a Mazatrol program as a sub program to perform the transfer operation, then go back to the EIA program to machine on the sub spindle.

What do you need exactly?
G110 Z2/C2is sub Z/C axis, used like this

G110 Z2 -Select sub z axis
G0 Zxxx -Move sub z axis
G111 -Deselect sub axis

G112 Mxxx is M code towards sub side.
Example:
G112 M200 -Activate sub C axis
G112 M6 -Unclamp sub chuck

Can be used in conjunction with regular M code like this:
M200 G112 M200 -Activate main and sub C axis.
M6 G112 M6 -Unclamp both chucks

M511, M512, M518 is for spindle sync.
I think both spindles need to be M5 when activated.
M511 -Start spindle sync
M512 M518 -Deactivate spindle sync

M508 M509 is for pressing with sub. Select sub Z axis before pressing.
M508 connects sub Z axis load signal to skip input. M509 disconnect it. Use G31 to stop on skip as usual. Use a low feedrate, I use about 100mm/min.

Example:
G110 Z2 -Select sub Z axis
G0 Z-700 -Move sub Z towards main
G112 M508 -Pressing start
G1 G31 Z-710 F100 -Press with sub Z towards main with feedrate 100
G112 M509 -Pressing end
G0 Z0 -Send sub home
G111 -Deselect sub Z

So, a program might look like this
M5 M305 -Stop both spindles
M200 G112 M200 -Activate both C axis
G0 C0 -Move main C to C0
G110 Z2 C2 -Select sub Z and sub C
G0 C0 -Move sub C to C0
G112 M6 -Open sub chuck
G0 Z-800 -Move sub towards main
G112 M508 -Start pressing action
G98 G1 G31 Z-810 F100 -Press with sub
G112 M509 -Stop pressing action
G112 M7 -Close sub chuck
M6 -Open main chuck
G0 Z0 -Move sub home
G111 -Deselect sub axis Z and C
M202 G112 M202 -Deactivate both C axis

Bonus tip!
I have my post processor put parameters at the top of my programs and spit out transfer codes with those parameters.
Example:
Top of program
(SUB PICKOFF Z, NEG VALUE)
#999=-800
(SUB G1 DISTANCE, POSITIVE VALUE)
#998=10

Then in transfer part of program:
blah
blah
blah
G110 Z2
G0 Z[#999+#998]
G98 G1 Z[#999] F100
etc.
etc.
etc.

Makes it easy to set transfer Z value for sub. I use the same parameter for G50 to move Z origin to sub after the transfer too, so really easy to use CAM for programming both main and sub operations with same Z offset.

thanks Phil i appreciate that i am just trying to get my postprocessor squared away thats probably why it stressed so much in manual
Thank You Sir
