Engraving software for mills works also for lathe

Hi Biggs.

I just had the basic Mazatrol programming for our 250-II MSY and the Mazak guy mentioned that there is an engraving software that is designed for Milling machines but with a couple of changes also works on Turning machines.

The software is in G-code and pretty easy to use.
(I do have the CD at home and could send you the file if you provide me with an email address)

I HAVEN'T TRIED IT MYSELF YET.
SO NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL WORK.

Run the engraving software!
Save the file!
Edit the file with the windows text editor.

(1) T1616 (Toolchange - if you use the engraving tool in turret 3 you want it to be T0303)

(2) G90

(3) M200 (lock the C-axis)

(4) M203 S1000 (203 is Live tooling / S1000 is spindle on cw)

(5) G18 (XZ plane)

At the end you want M30 (to finish the program)

Or M99 (To run it as a sub-program in your mazatrol program)

Replace all letters A with a C !!!!!

Save the file and load it.

I hope this helps you out.
