CamLink Control
Mazak users can now take advantage of CamLink’s powerful, time-saving features that allow more control over the machine tools and increased efficiency in the shop. Support is available for the Matrix M, Matrix T, Matrix MT and Matrix ME controls.
CamLink supports the Mazatrol Matrix control in its GB\DataTransfer, GB\DataPrint, GB\DataEntry, GB\GeoEntry, GB\GeoSolid, and GB\DataTranslate software programs.
GB\DataEntry allows Matrix users to accelerate the programming process by moving it offline. Users can efficiently program in Mazatrol at their PC and take advantage of the Matrix’s improved functions including pocket milling with multiple islands and B-axis indexing for lathes. In addition, users can check their programs for accuracy, and highlight potential, costly errors before parts are manufactured on the shop floor.
Tool Path for Matrix Mill will allow users to view the shape and cutting path of their part before sending the program to the control. The Tool Path is viewable in wire frame or 3D solid mode.
GB\DataEntry also utilizes a specialty Graphics Check feature called ShapeCheck, which allows users to view the part shape in a 3D surface model or wire frame, rotate the part shape, and set the transparency level. In addition, with a single mouse click, users can select from a unit list, view the selected unit on-screen, and see the corresponding Mazatrol code highlighted in the program.
SolidWorks users can also enjoy the added benefits of Matrix support with Griffo Brothers’ GB\GeoSolid software, which combines the power of Mazatrol with the solids capabilities of SolidWorks. As a result, programming time is reduced and errors are eliminated by using the solids data already contained in the SolidWorks model.
