Hello Mazatrol Fans, Things are changing a bit here at my company. We are a family business consisting of my wonderful wife, my genius son and well.me. Things have recently changed for me as I am now confined to a wheelchair (long story really don't want to get into the details). I have been the programmer and set up guy for the last 4 years and have been training my son on set ups and programming in the last couple months. I am trying to change what I do here to product design and programming for obvious reasons.
I am looking for a good Cad/Cam program for design and editing Mazatrol from my desk. I have mastercam but I suck at it and really need to be able to output and edit mazatrol from my desk. I have been looking at Mazacam because I can edit mazatrol and easily convert programs from my Pfh-4800 with the fusion control to my H-400N with the M32 control. I am looking for other software suggestions but they must allow offline mazatrol editing and conversions. Thanks in advance for your help. Looked at MazView awhile back just to be able to print existing programs to have as hard copy backups.
The problem with it was that some of the dimensions would be imperial and some metric in the same program. After several back and fourths with there support folks I dropped it all together so never looked into their editor. If the editor is anything like their viewer then forget about it. Also looked at Cimco EditV6 for Mazatrol but never finished a good evaluation, however it did look a little more promising. IIRC price was around 2K. As far as i know, only mazacam will simulate the machine so the look and feel are the same as programming on the machine itself. I too am fairly new to mazatrol, having used g-code programming for 16 years.
My favorite feature is the virtual machine, which will allow you to ' run' parts in a virtual world before cutting any actual parts. Along with virtual machine, machine simulation will show all tools in their actual postions and display warnings if any potential problems ( crashes) are likely to occur. Go to tool path -virtual machine -simulation continue. Be aware, before virtual machine will work, chuck jaws, z offset,etc must be set correctly to display accurately.
If you leave your PC unattended and running in a public area, how do you keep people from using it? You have several options, but one of the easiest we've tried is Predator Free.
This free security tool locks and unlocks your PC when you remove or insert a USB drive. When your thumbdrive is removed, Predator locks your PC and darkens your screen if anyone tried to use it without entering the password. You can enable passwords for every operation or just once, which adds convenience if you're often away from your desk. It also logs activity and can sound an optional alarm. If you lose your USB drive or don't have it handy, you can still unlock your PC with your password. Predator Free is available in separate downloads for 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows. To set up the program, you need to create a password and a security key, but it's easy to do.
When Predator's monitoring is active, it places an icon in the system tray that lets users Pause or Edit the program, view log files, and access the Preferences, which include password and encryption key tools, alarm options, and Advanced options, including the ability to enable Twitter-based logging. Predator is very easy to use. We removed our USB drive using the Safely Remove Hardware function in Windows, automatically activating the security key in the set time. We started to use the PC, but the screen went completely blank in seconds. Reinserting the USB drive restored our normal functions. Some of the program's Advanced options are disabled in the free version, such as the splash screen option and Task Manager. But all the essentials are there, plus some useful extras, such as the ability to use your own sound file for an alarm.
For office workers who must leave their PCs on but want to limit access, for students in dorms, for families, or for anyone who wants to restrict unattended access to a running PC, try Predator Free. With Predator, you can lock and unlock your PC by simply removing or inserting a USB flash drive. You can use any USB stick, the program will generate a security code and place it on the device to identify it as the key. It will then check every few seconds if the drive is still inserted and if it is not, the program will lock your computer. If anyone attempts to access your PC while the USB stick is removed, he will be prompted for a password and, if the correct password is not entered within 20 seconds, an alarm will sound and access is denied. Optionally, Predator will take a picture with your webcam and email it to you. Predator has a built-in scheduler where you define the times of day when each user may use the computer.
You can make specific rules for each user and each day of the week. Out of authorized periods you can either lock the desktop, logoff the user or shutdown the computer. PREDATOR logs the access attempt and notifies you the next time you unlock your PC.
Unlocking your computer is as simple as inserting the USB key drive, if you happen to lose your USB stick, you can unlock your computer with a password that you specify during setup. Furthermore, Predator frequently changes the security codes recorded on your USB drive, so even if an intruder manages to copy your stick, this copy will not work because the codes on your own stick will have changed in the meantime. Full Specifications What's new in version 3.0.0.119. If there are several user accounts in your computer, now you can define different Predator settings for each user. When several user sessions are opened simultaneously Predator protects each of them with its own settings. Snapshots, email messaging, ftp are easier to configure: new input fields have been added to the Preferences window. A built-in scheduler limits the users sessions to the times of day you have selected in a weekly calendar.
You can define custom commands to be executed for all Predator events: run your own program when an alarm is raised, shutdown the PC, etc. Predator can use any type of flash drives, even those that Windows sees like fixed disks (mostly from SanDisk). You can choose a background picture that Predator will display when your desktop is locked, instead of a black screen. The Predator process is protected and cannot be killed anymore by system utilities.
