This is optionally available for the MAZATROL SmoothAi. Easy Interference Check with Virtual Machining (3D program check) Machine interference check for machines equipped with Virtual Machining can be performed in an office. Accurate interference checks and setup time reductions can be done for machines on the shop floor since the same machine data, tool data, machine parameters are utilized by the Smooth CAM Ai. INTEGREX i-200ST; machine simulation VARIAXIS i-600; machine simulation 5-Axis Machining Program Simulation Virtual machining for five-axis machining programs for machines equipped with the MAZATROL SmoothAi, SmoothX CNC can be performed which provides fast work simulation and machine simulation. 5-axis machining; work simulation MAZATROL Program Conversion MAZATROL programs for the MAZATROL SmoothAi, SmoothX, SmoothG CNC systems can be converted for use by earlier versions of the MAZATROL CNC. (There are some conversion limitations.) ► Smooth TOOL MANAGEMENT The Smooth Tool Management software manages data of the large number of tools in use by a factory. By centrally managing tools and registering tool data as well as tool setup, machine non-cutting time can be reduced. This software can also eliminate tool information input errors in the CNC to improve productivity. More ► Smooth Link Smooth Link allows you to browse and edit machine information from your smartphones, tablets, and PC. You will no longer need to stay in front of the machine to know your machine status. Machine Monitoring Same amount of information on CNC home screen can be browsed on portable devise or PC, allowing you to monitor machine status while you are away from your machine. Tool Data Browsing Tool information such as tool length, tool diameter, etc. can either be monitored or edited on portable device and PC. You will no longer need to go back and forth between CNC panel and tool magazine or tool room to edit tool information. * : Edit function is only applicable for tool information. Need prior access from Mazak in order to activate the function. Program Browsing Cutting program saved in the machine CNC can be browsed on portable device and PC, enabling you to check your program for easy reference while you are making program for other machines. Easy setup Smooth Link can easily be setup by installing Smooth Link software and license file into your machine, and connect Wi-Fi router. The Smooth Process Support software incorporates Mazak’s accumulated expertise to visualize production for convenient factory management. ► Smooth MONITOR AX Monitors machine operation status by connecting machines in a factory over a computer network. By analyzing accumulated operation results, overall factory productivity can be improved. Machines Status Display Operation results of each machine are graphically displayed. Visualization of factory status. Status can be displayed on smartphone or tablet. Data gathering and analyzing Visualization of factory status resulting in improved productivity and efficient factory management Operation analysis display Tool monitoring display Maintenance display Energy consumption display ► Smooth TOOL MANAGEMENT Designed to efficiently handle the large amount of data required for tool management in a machine shop. Minimize the time searching for tools in a machine shop and registering tool data resulting in faster tool setup times. Eliminate manual errors of inputting tool data into each CNC unit to realize higher productivity. Centralized Control of All Tool Data in a Factory Check the status of tools in the magazine of all machines over the network. Tool Data Entry by Tool Presetter Tool diameter and tool length measurement results from Tool Presetter are entered into tool data database. Tool Management by Using Tool ID By reading tool ID, the corresponding data for each tool can be transferred to each CNC system. Advanced tool setup thanks to capability of determining required tools ahead of time. By utilizing results of the Smooth Scheduler and the Smooth CAM RS , the system can determine the required tools in advance ► Smooth SCHEDULER Designed to prepare the optimum production plan by for multiple machines and multiple machining operations. Visualizing Production Floor Reduction of in-process inventory Quick and Accurate Response to Delivery Deadline Improved Machine Utilization Gantt-Chart Schedule Visualization of production floor is by displaying the Gantt-Chart schedule. Production plan up to several months in the future can be easily visualized as well as forecasting completion dates. Additionally, the work load for each machine and the production processes are visualized. The instructions for parts to be machined by in the factory are provided over the network. The Smooth Scheduler status is updated by receiving a completion report each CNC unit and terminal device after machining completion.* *Progress confirmation is performed from portable terminals, other PCs, etc., by installing the satellite software. ► Smooth PMC Smooth PMC is the software to perform schedule automatic operation/ control of FMS [PALLETECH SYSTEM] by MAZAK.
