I am new to Mazak & this forum, so my apologies if this quetion has already beens asked and answered.
We have a Mazak QT Nexus 250 II - which we prefer to program using EIA.
We have a situation whereby we want to use what we call a "double offset" on a tool (IE: T001212 and T001224).
We can't do this in the Tool Data page as there are only 12 tool offsets available. However in the Tool Offset page there are 99 tool offsets available, but we cannot get them to work.
Having scoured the forum it seems that Tool Data is for Mazatrol G53.5 and Tool Offset is for EIA G54-59. But you cannot get the tooleye to work in the tool offset page (IE: it will not register the data automatically and you have to copy it from the Tool Data page).
1) I am aright in assuming all of the above is correct?
2) Can you use both the Tool data and the Tool offset pages in conjunction with one another? - if you can then how do i do this, please.
3) Have i got confused somewhere? Wait i think i know the answer to that one!
Thanks in advance
