Automatic operation intelligent safety shield (ISS)/virtual machining interference check selection

Q: What does Mazak parameter F326 do?

F326 is a User parameter in the EIA/ISO group of the MAZATROL SmoothX control (INTEGREX e-670H). Automatic operation intelligent safety shield (ISS)/virtual machining interference check selection. When an incremental feed command of 720 (two turns) or greater is specified for a rotary type rotary axis, the feed amount of the rotary axis is rounded to one turn + a fraction (remainder obtained by dividing the specified feed amount by 360). Rounding the feed amount increases the speed of the interference check during automatic operation intelligent safety shield (ISS)/virtual machining. The rounding process can be enabled/disabled as follows. 0: Rounding process for rotary axes disabled 1: Rounding process for rotary axes enabled in interference check during automatic ISS 2: Rounding process for rotary axes enabled in interference check during automatic ISS and in virtual machining Example : Change in machining shape due to rounding process with respect to the ZC plane Before applying the After applying the rounding process rounding process Cutting path in C-axis line machining Note : Applying the rounding process to two or more axes including a rotary axis may change the cutting shape and cause interference. Therefore, restrict the use of this parameter to machining in which no interference will be caused due to influence of the rounding process.

Machine-specific. This parameter list is specific to the Mazak INTEGREX e-670H / e-670H-S with the MAZATROL SmoothX control (manual HA64HA0035E). Other Mazak models and control generations use different addresses, ranges and meanings — verify on your own control before changing anything.
