The company I work for purchased a well used Mazak SQT 18MS-Y with a sub-spindle, after 6 months of working with it, they are not that happy with our ability, we need to do better. So, I have a few questions on how to do better with this machine. The machine ONLY has the Mazatrol T-plus programming, it is NOT set up for EIA/ISO codes.
1. Best way to transfer file from control to desk top computer? (I'm thinking a DNC tranfer device?)
2. Any idea what the cost would be to upgrade control to use standard G-codes?
3. If control is upgraded, can you use a generic post to program from Autodesk Inventor/HSM CAM?
4. If we do not upgrade the control, is Mazak training on the T-plus control worth the money?
Any and All advice is welcomed, I myself favor the Fanuc controls, I have little to NO experience with
the Mazatrol T-plus programming.
