Hey guys, long-time reader, first-time poster here.
I bought a 2001 Mazak Integrex 100-IISY, and I'm now ready to get it running but cannot seem to get around a huge issue with the G12.1 - polar coordinate interpolation command. The machine arrived with a dead battery, and we had to use a previous backup on the HD to get the machine functional. I had Mazak do it themselves since I didn't want to cause more harm than good on such an old control. Everything seemed to be working great until I got the whole thing set up and started single blocking through a program.
The machine does have the option installed, at least that's what the options page shows under diagnose. I confirmed with my local Mazak applications engineer that the code we're trying to use is fine, and even threw a sample code straight out of the manual into the machine without any success.
The alarm I keep getting is 708 - illegal g code. Which from what I was told, basically means that the control probably doesn't have that option enabled, or a prerequisite code is not being used. We also get this alarm with G122, and this happens in MDI & memory modes. I'm now in a huge bind, and everybody is stumped.
I've confirmed that the control is not set to t-32 G-code language ( parameter 9 bit 2 & 3) and Mazak also confirmed that we're set to the right parameters. Unfortunately, we cannot work around the polar coordinate interpolation, since the parts we're making would actually overtravel the y axis. We just have to use the c axis instead of the y. Has anybody ever seen this before?
