Measurement macro

Q: What does Mazak G-code G136 do?

G136 — Measurement macro on the MAZATROL SmoothX control (INTEGREX e-670H). This chapter describes the measurement macros provided for implementing MAZATROL workpiece measuring and tool measuring functions on the EIA/ISO program. The measurement macroprograms are to be called up with G136 (Measurement Macro Call) and G137 (Correction Macro Call). The use of these G-codes requires the corresponding settings of the relevant Give special macro call instructions (with G136 and G137) to use the measurement macros. The appropriate system of workpiece coordinates must be established beforehand for the macro to operate correctly. Moreover, the B-axis positioning in an angle and linear positioning to an intermediate point must be completed as appropriate before the macro call since such operations are not provided for in the macroprogram. Note that modal information on G90/G91 (absolute/increment

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.

Moreover, the B-axis positioning in an angle and linear positioning to an intermediate point must be completed as appropriate before the macro call since such operations are not provided for in the macroprogram. Note that modal information on G90/G91 (absolute/incremental programming) and the F-code (rate of feed) may be changed through the execution of the G136 measurement macro. A. […]

Notes & precautions

Setting a value other than 0 and 1 functions the same as setting “1”.
