Q: What does Mazak parameter TC98 do?

TC98 is a User parameter in the TURNING group of the MAZATROL SmoothX control (INTEGREX e-670H). Returning operation after machining specified in the END unit. Specify the sequence of the returning operation set in the ATC and RETURN items in the end unit for machines with the lower turret. TC98 = 0: The upper and lower turrets return simultaneously. TC98 = 1: The upper turret returns prior to the lower turret. TC98 = 2: The lower turret returns prior to the upper turret. The setting is regarded as “0” if out of range.

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.
