What is it? Communicate with your Mazaks from your PC upload and download your programs? These are just some of the capabilities that MazaCAM gives its users. Primarily, MazaCAM addresses Mazatrol, but many shops use MazaCAM if they have a variety of controls on the shop floor, Mazatrol and G-code, and need a system that integrate all of them with one system. It was developed to be easy-to-use for those new to off-line programming, and yet deliver the power that is needed for those experienced users. MazaCAM is in use by many large plants such as Boeing North American and Lockheed Martin, but is also utilized in many small job shops, or start-up machine shops. There are literally hundreds of tricky nuances that are handed in this extensive advanced conversion.So, what is MazaCAM?īut what does that mean exactly? It means that in addition to the conventional method of programming a Mazak on the controlyou can program your Mazaks completely off-line in your office, or even on the road. MazaCAM converts between these entirely differently-based control families. The e-Machine and the Integrex: Many customers who buy the e-Machine which is milling-based also have an earlier Integrex which is turning-based. MazaCAM is breakthrough technology that transforms the legacy Mazatrol programs to the new Matrix controls, enabling the shop to be up and running in a minimum time. While anyone can get there by hand-copying the program and entering it into the new Matrix control, this is a tedious and error-prone method. Converting to Matrix from Legacy controls: With the increasing cost of programming and reprogramming parts that are already proven on other machines, Mazak shops are continually looking for new solutions to improve productivity and delivery time.Īnd while most Mazak controls can up-convert the immediately prior generation or two, the task when converting to Matrix is far more extensive than any previous generation, and many aspects are tricky to handle. With this new feature, re-writing 3D Mazatrol programs by hand to another control is no longer an issue thus reducing programming time and cost.
Enhancements to address previously unsolvable problems: One of many enhancements which have had no solution in the past is the ability to take a 3D Mazatrol program and convert it to another Mazak control. This latest edition of MazaCAM includes various major enhancements to help Mazak shops program their machines or convert programs from one machine to another.
