Single program multi-process control

Q: What does Mazak G-code G109 do?

G109 — Single program multi-process control on the MAZATROL SmoothX control (INTEGREX e-670H). When machining of different processes are performed by respective systems on a machine with two systems of headstock (HD1 and HD2), or turret (TR1 and TR 2), the two systems can be The program section from “G109L;” to “%” or to “G109L*;” is used for controlling the -system. The system number is to be specified by a value following the address L. 1. Even if a value following L includes a decimal point or negative sign (–), it is ignored. 2. In the mode of single-block operation, the stop can be performed after execution of G109 block. However, when the number specified by L belongs to the other system such as L2 in HD1 operation, the single-block stop does not occur. 3. G109 can be specified in the same block as G-codes other than of group 0. When specified in the same block as another G-code

Machine-specific. This G-code reference is specific to the Mazak INTEGREX e-670H / e-670H-S with the MAZATROL SmoothX control (EIA/ISO programming manual H747PB0030E). G-code availability depends on fitted options, and groups and behaviour differ between Mazak models and control generations — verify against the manual for your own machine before programming with any code.

What it does

When machining of different processes are performed by respective systems on a machine with two systems of headstock (HD1 and HD2), or turret (TR1 and TR 2), the two systems can be The program section from “G109L;” to “%” or to “G109L*;” is used for controlling the -system. The system number is to be specified by a value following the address L. 1. Even if a value following L includes a decimal point or negative sign (–), it is ignored. 2. In the mode of single-block operation, the stop can be performed after execution of G109 block. However, when the number specified by L belongs to the other system such as L2 in HD1 operation, the single-block stop does not occur. 3. G109 can be specified in the same block as G-codes other than of group 0. When specified in the same block as another G-code of group 0, the G-code specified later is effective. 4. The section from the head of a program to the place where G109 is commanded is common % Common to HD1 and HD2 (or TR1 and TR2) 5. One block including more than 128 characters causes an alarm (807 ILLEGAL FORMAT). 6. […]

G109 is one-shot (group 00) — it is valid only in the block where it is entered.

Programming format

G109 L_;
L = 1 : HD1 (or TR1)
2 : HD2 (or TR2)
The system number is to be specified by a value following the address L.
3. Notes
1. Even if a value following L includes a decimal point or negative sign (–), it is ignored.
2. In the mode of single-block operation, the stop can be performed after execution of G109
block. However, when the number specified by L belongs to the other system such as L2 in
HD1 operation, the single-block stop does not occur.
3. G109 can be specified in the same block as G-codes other than of group 0. When specified
in the same block as another G-code of group 0, the G-code specified later is effective.

Example: G28 X Z; Common to HD1 and HD2 (or TR1 and TR2)
G109 L1;
 HD1 (or TR1)
M30;
G109 L2;
 HD2 (or TR2)

5. One block including more than 128 characters causes an alarm (807 ILLEGAL FORMAT).
6. In the remainder of this chapter, “HD1” and “HD2” generally refer to “TR1” and “TR2”,
respectively, at once.
7. The surface speed (cutting speed) of the respective turning spindles is to be specified, with
reference to the G109 condition, as follows:
G96S__R1 ............ to specify the surface speed for the 1st spindle under “G109L1”
