First introduced in 1981 on the MAZATROL T-1 control equipped on the QUICK TURN 10", MAZATROL is a wizard-like programming mode that bypasses the use of G-code.
MAZATROL makes it possible for inexperienced operators to quickly and easily develop machining programs while out on the shop floor.
MAZATROL makes it possible to run Mazak machines using conversational or EIA/ISO programming. Available on all of Mazak’s CNC systems, this proprietary programming language brings versatility and ease of use to your manufacturing.
Operators begin the process answering conversationally displayed questions about the intended workpiece. These include type of material, O.D./I.D. dimensions and part lengths, among other queries. Then, according to the input data, the MAZATROL control automatically calculates intersection coordinates and tool index positioning in addition to optimized cutting conditions and machining processes.
As these questions are answered, the control constructs the program, then allows the machinist/programmer to visually check the tool path and verify the program. In the event of program flaws or missing information, the control will display an alert and the programmer must remedy the problem.
