EIA programming examples

I have been asked at work to look into programming the mazaks in EIA mode, since G code is what I'm most familiar with. I did work one place where we ran the mazak mills in EIA, but we did all the programming in cadcam, so i never really had to memorize the programming format. And i've never worked anywhere that programmed their mazak lathes in EIA.

I was wondering if anyone out there could possibly post or send me some mazak EIA code that i can use to familiarize myself with the format required. I'd like to see both lathe and mill programs, and if there were some canned cycle examples (if they even use canned cycles) that would be even better.

Thanks,
Tim
 
Hi Tim,
I have an EIA manual in pdf. If you give me an e-mail address I'll send it to you. It's for 640T but I was given it about 10 years ago when I asked for an EIA manual for T32. Codes must be the same.
I use only EIA on my 2 mazaks which have T32 controls. With the canned cycles everything is quick enough. I can write a prog and set up a machine for a reasonably complex part inside an hour.
I write progs at computer and send to machine. Do a tool path check and see that it looks ok. If I make any changes during the parts run I send the prog back to computer and store it for when the job comes up next time.
Here's what one of my progs looks like:

The G71 is a roughing cycle
P is the line in the prog that the finished shape starts
Q is the line it finishes
U is the finishing allowance on the diameter (Negative value when boring)
W finishing allowance on Z
D depth of cut (radial value)

G70 is Finishing Cycle

G76 Threading Cycle

G75 Grooving cycle (used here to break swarf when parting off)

There's a canned cycle for every process you'd ever need. Loads and loads of them. Everything is explained well in the manual and it's pretty big. As I said if you give me somewhere to e-mail it to I will.


Mark.

P.S. There's something about a parameter changing for the tool offsets when using EIA as opposed to mazatrol. It's in the EIA manual I think.
 
Hrmmm. I'm such a newb, as I thought I replied to this already, and I've seem to have lost it! Apologies if this is a double post.

I am new here, and actually became a member here to ask you if you'd be willing to send me that eia pdf that you might still have? Found this thread in a google search.

I am due to start in another week at a new shop. I have experience with Mazaks' but that was a good 7 years ago, so I would love to be able to reacquaint myself with them, and increase my overall knowledge. I will take a liberty in pm'ing you my email, and sincerely thank you for your offer and effort.

Hi Mark

Will you be willing to send EIA manual to my email : [email protected]

Best regards from Croatia

Goran.
 
Hi MBPP, I'm traynig to learn how to program in a T-32, the company have lost the mazatrol T32-3 programming manual, I think the one you have may work, can you please share the text? THANKYOU so much [email protected]
