MACH2520 Mazak CNC Mazatrol Programming
This course will familiarize students with the Mazak Mazatrol programming system. Electronic Industries Association (EIA) (G and M code) is the standard programming language for CNC (Computer Numeric Control) machine tools, whereas Mazatrol is a Mazak specific conversational language. Students will be trained to use Mazatrol to create programs for Mazak machining and turning centers. Mazatrol allows for machine readable code to be created quickly and efficiently.
