Mazak Lathe Tool Set Angle Less Than 90

Mazak Lathe Tool Set Angle Less Than 90. In this video I am showing how to set the Z geometry of a tool with an angle less than 90 degrees. This is only necessary to perform once because once you have the Z offset number, you can then vibro peen it to the side of the holder and note what tool nose radius you used to get the number. Different nose radius will have a different Z offset value.

Thanks for making great videos. I’ve forgotten some of what you’ve been teaching. I like the spindle view

Thanks.

Very neat! One I’ve never seen before. Thanks

this is very nice teaching video and person.

If you had a Optical Comparator you could get that number for the the tool set "z' shift with out making a test part rite? thanks for the videos please keep em coming

[@mazatroltipsandtricks6816]

Possibly, I've never tried that method.

[@ernestgrundeman9534]

Yes you can do with an optical comparator. That is how I set my all my VBMT tools. Once I have the number I use a engraver and put the numbers on the side of the holder. All of mine have 3 different numbers on them. They have .007 with the offset and .0156 with its offset and .031 with its offset this way I only have to do it once for those inserts. It really speeds things up.

[@hughesservices2475]

I may be over thinking it but shouldn't the angle you cut to measure the tool on the test part be the same as the cutting angle? When it is just 45deg it seems it would be off a few thousandths compared to cutting the test part the same angle as the edge (72.5deg) especially if you have a larger corner radius tool. Your channel is awesome y the way. Keep it up. I think a good idea for a video would be what the different colors and highlights mean in the programs.

[@mazatroltipsandtricks6816]

Thanks. You cannot cut a workpiece with the same angle as the edge of the insert. The machine automatically adds 3 degrees of clearance to the cut path. The 45 degree test part gets me within .001" so it works for me.

[@peoplepower1272]

No, that's not actually the case. The machine knows the tool geometry and part shape but does not know the Z error, so when you touch the 45 degree slope and measure the difference, you are accurately correcting the error (as long as you don't move the X axis).

[@Docaga1978]

Sir, do you know how to calibrate the tool eye? Hope you can do the next video if you knew.

[@mazatroltipsandtricks6816]

I will make a video on how to calibrate the tool eye for a T2 and T3 control. Newer machines will have different parameters.

[@jepkeklinge3778]

Nice video, can you do a video how to set the center of an Id holder/ reamer? I don’t know how to call It, my english is not that good XD Thanks for all the good videos man

[@mazatroltipsandtricks6816]

Sounds like a good idea for another video. Thanks.

[@tomaszspiszak181]

Does the Fusion and nexus use similar theoretical point? I thought it was the quadrant, like in cadcams.

[@mazatroltipsandtricks6816]

I would say those controllers do it the same as my old controller, but run a test to be sure before running hardware.

[@vizibug]

tip comp.?

[@cheizaguirre5494]

I am using the same similar holder but with a ceramic round insert. How would i describe the angle for a round insert in the tool data ?

[@mazatroltipsandtricks6816]

Depends on what the tool looks like. Can you probe the OD and face of the round insert or do you need to determine the Z offset like in my video?

[@cheizaguirre5494]

Mazatrol Tips and Tricks i can prove the X but the z i have to do it like the way u do in ur video but idk how to describe the angle for a round insert on the tool data ?

[@mazatroltipsandtricks6816]

@@cheizaguirre5494 I would use a hand held protractor to measure the first and second angle of your holder to see what kind of angle clearances you have on the holder itself above the round insert, then input that in the control. The first angle will be less than 90 degrees. The deeper you need to machine into the part, the more the tool angles will become critical for the machine to clear the tool holder properly.

Just leave the angles blank

@@mazatroltipsandtricks6816 I assumed as much. Dont take what I had said as dogging on you, because that was not my intention. The process that you uploaded is definitely is a solid process for those without a comparitor.
