Postprocessor for Mazak Integrex

Postprocessor for Mazak Integrex

We are working on a generic Mazak Integrex post processor and we would be happy to get some feedback from the community.

Note that customization might be required in most cases for each specific machine, so please test carefully.


Please feel free to download and test it:

I am so glad that I found this and it's coming from you guys. We paid a reseller to write us a post and what we received was a copy of one of your generic posts, line for line. It's very sad that resellers can be just as bad as quack doctors that promote a great product, but their service quality is atrocious. I was just preparing to start a post asking about an Integrex post and it came up under a tag. I understand that we must proceed with caution, but at least we have a baseline to work from. Thank you so much for the dedication it takes to be a world class organization.

Hi, using an i-100s here. Assuming I am reading this correctly:

 

When machining on the sub spindle your post uses G110 C2 to take control of the sub spindle orientation. Unfortunately our machine does not accept G110 (Cross Machine Control) because it does not have a lower turret. Mazak Applications offered using data setting mode to change the 5th axis to the U axis (Parameter K125 from 5 (C axis) to 10 (U axis)). This takes care of the problem, but requires U axis commands to be output instead of C axis commands during this time. (Also the parameter needs to be changed back when returning to main spindle C axis commands)

 

Thanks for the post! I will let you know if I find anything else!

I am a newbie with Autodesk fusion managed to output loads of good programs on our Fanuc control can you provide me with a post for a mill turn Mazak?

@marius.prinsloo you can download the post processor by using the link above.

Thank you for this post processor we have a mill turn Mazak QTN 200 Y then posting code it also post code using the B Axis which we don't have on our machine. I will try running code generated from this post processor and will provide feedback again.

I have been working on this post as well. I have made some advances but am having problems with b and c axis primarily. I can't get the post to output the codes needed for c and b axis. 

 

I have a log of changes I have made. 

 

The things I know need to be implemented 

1. part catcher m48 is extend and m49 retract

2. It would be nice if we could get the tool orientation from the tool library. 

3. Axial drilling ops use the milling spindle instead of holding the tool locked and rotating the main spindle.

I have been working on the generic Integrex post but made some changes to it to suit QT Nexus 4 axis XYZ and C. Disable the B axis variable. Since I don't have a B axis.
As far as the turning goes it seems to be working fine still with a few glitches to sort out.
As far as the milling is concern my Y values then proving the program come out roughly half size think this is a post error and stuck at this junction, open for any ideas if interested I am willing to share the post I've made changes to just let me know. I could not get the C axis to rotate bit it did lock and managed to engrave on the nose of the component, but with Y being 1/2 sized.

Marius. I believe the I saw the math in another post to multiply y axis moves *2. I have not gotten that far however. 

 

I would like to see your post to compare what I have here. I believe we started from the same point but I would like to see the differences. I posted a copy of my post and change log that was made on another topic yesterday. 

 

The B axis and C axis are what  I am having problems with as well

We have an mazak QT200M machine tool and we wolud like to programe it via HSM. For the basic turning operations I start with the basic FANUC turning post, and the generated NC code works.

But we want to use also turn milling on it, so I am wondering if I can edit the Integrex post? Have someone some guides, how to change it?

 

Thanks in advance!

We have an IVS-300 with Nexus 2 Control and are looking for a post for Autodesk.  Anybody know of anyone producing such an animal?

Hi
I started of in using the integrex post the post I've edited seems to work still a long way to go though then milling on the C axis seems to be getting a sort of scaling issue in regards to the y axis took all the b axis out of the post.Id you send me your email address I can share this with you but take no responsibility for the post though.

Hi marius.prinsloo,

I sent you my contact wia private mail.

Thank you in advance!

Hi guys,
I have the same problem as Marius with an Integrex 300, there would seem to be some sort of scale when I have to work with the C and Y axis.
I've been going crazy for 3 days searching for a solution but I have not found it

Can anyone post the correct post processor?
Thanks in advance
Flavio.

Hi Guys,
at the PP from the first post, I have a problem on the 2nd headstock, only when drilling operations at B-axis 180 °.

That would be correct.

Where can this be changed?

thanks

Hello, a small feedback for the above PP tested on a Mazak Integrex i-200ST.

Upper turret milling spindle

2D milling and drilling on main spindle works great, on the subspindle as written in the post before when drilling B-axis 180 degrees does not fit (see post before). Furthermore, M901 / M902 to subspindle. M901 must be excluded.

Lower turret
No Y-Acse available, no rotating tools available.

The output here should be done without Y, because pure turning.

On the subspindle, no matter how I did setup, the Z values are + - reversed.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

During the turning operation, if you select for the second time roughing cycle, an error occurs in the NC output.

2.

if the lower turret is used, the home position should be approached at the beginning. Possibly a selection whether the machine has several turrets, then move to the home position for both turrets at the beginning.

Hi there,

the B-axis output is not correct even with a 180 ° turning operation (turning inside) on the subspindle.

is changed with the tool setting angle of the B-axis <> 0 or 180 ° (internal machining turn) no matter whether main or sub spindle there is an error.

Hi there,
further errors in internal turning if the B-axis is not 0 ° or 180 °.
