This is a brief review and setup guide for the Micro DNC system as used on M-series Mazak/Mazatrol Controls.
As a DEVOTED Mazak user for the past 20 of my 26 years in business, anything that I find beneficial to Mazak users, I try to share. As much as we rely on the power of the Mazatrol programming system, there will be times that we may be forced to use EIA code to tackle a given task. High speed roughing strategies as well as surface milling come to mind when we are forced to step outside of the Mazatrol platform.
Regardless of the CAM system used to generate the EIA code in question, the hard part is often simply getting the program into the control; and if it will not fit within the controls memory, running the program via DNC. After having purchased and tried various USB/DNC devices, to no avail, I stumbled upon the Micro DNC system of USB/DNC.
This particular unit, out of four others tested, ended up being the ONLY ONE that I found to work on the later PC based controls but ALSO on the older M-series controls! With all of the M-series controls still out there today; this becomes a very important point. This unit has performed flawlessly on all M2/T2, M32/T32, and M-Plus/T-Plus controllers. It downloads, uploads, and drip feeds (DNC) EIA programs effectively and easily with the proper device settings within the Micro DNC and the correct parameter settings within the CNC controller.
This video contains all of the Micro DNC settings as well as all of the Mazatrol parameter settings required for fast, simple, transfer of EIA code to your Mazak control. Please accept my humble apology for the sloppy video. This was my first attempt at a video of this sort and getting this information out to other Mazak users being more important than my embarrassment of my on screen appearance and accent.
Anyone needing further assistance or questions regarding the usage of the Micro DNC on their Mazak's can feel free to comment below or contact me directly at mykal1970@icloud.com anytime. Shoot me a contact phone number and I'll be happy to talk with you over the phone to get you up and running EIA code on your Mazak with the Micro DNC.
Kind regards,
Mike Ward.

I just finished installing this little DNC box on my Mazak-M plus controller, and it's working fantastic..!!! Thank you Mike for posting this video.

Thanks for this video Mike, it gave me the confidence to buy one of these units and solve the com's issue I had been having. Am now happily loading the eia/iso gcode straight from Fusion 360/hsm into my 1984 AJV25. It's a cheap piece of tech to enable 2018 usb convenience to interface easily with a 34 year old machine.

Excellent! To others that are "non-Mazak" users, this would seem to be trivial and and without merit; those of us that are Mazatrol users (Misubishi "Meldas" series especially) can appreciate a product such as this. Having wasted thousands of dollars over the years on different devises and software, just for the upload/download/DNC functionality, to only be met with disappointment; FINALLY something that actually WORKS! Honestly, I don't even know who these folks are that make the Micro-DNC; they're in Vietnam, I suppose? With that said, it is an EXCELLENT product for the minimal amount of both financial AND effort invested. The one we have was purchased on eBay for about $200. It is well constructed, has some very nice features, and best of all, it works exactly as advertised! I do apologize for the highly amateur video; it's a little embarrassing to watch. That's ok though; it had become very important to me that it be made though. The fact that there was an item such as this available for those of us with various vintage Mazak machine tools that utilize the Mitsubishi Meldas architecture in the Mazatrol control, that would like to be able to implement the efficiency of today's CAM technology; I had to do the video. Looking back on it now, it almost seems "incomplete" having left out a discussion regarding Autodesk's Fusion-360 software. Again, another item that works WONDERFULLY well and at an INCREDIBLE value. As any of us know, having purchased (or even priced) a CAM system in the past few years; it's insane, the amount of money one could spend in order to get JUST ENOUGH for it to cover your needs. The initial buy in is typically painful enough; yet you have to figure in the "annual fees" associated with nearly every CAM producer. My background in design revolved around the use of Solidworks; which I loved. The CAM packages that I've owned, shared a seat of, or test drove extensively are far and wide. The SolidCAM with iMachining module having been my favorite; the thought of "starting over" in the realm of CAD/CAM software was frightening. Fusion-360 has brought the capabilities of the high end CAD systems as well as the most ingenious CAM systems together at a dollar figure that is unbelievable. I do not say this lightly; that was a VERY heavy statement to make, but I stand behind it. In the event you do not already have it; you simply MUST have it. The VALUE of this product CAN NOT be overstated; there's nothing else on the market like it. Most of your "high end" packages struggle to provide what's just kinda "built in" to Fusion-360. My point being; this product has surpassed the "for the money" attachment typically found whenever it is mentioned. It isn't just a bargain; it's an amazing piece of technology, regardless the dollar figure. Mike Ward.

Hi MikeThanks great video, I am looking to post code to a Mazak 4 axis lathe the post processor supplied by Autodesk is for a integrex. Tried to run code from post not sure that I have my work coordinate set the right way which I will have to try again on monday. Do you have post processor for a 4 axis lathe for Autodesk Fusion 360? They do supply a post for the 640M how well does it work We don't have a Mazak mill?

I am very strongly considering buying a mazak lathe with Mazatrol Fusion 640T on it, will this product drip feed my Fusion files to it? For that matter, do you have a Fusion 360 post processor for Mazak lathes?

I HAVE THE SAME MACHINE I DID MY PARAMETERS LIKE YOU ASKED SET IT UP THE ONLY DIFERENCE IN MY DNC UNIT IT DOES NOT HAVE THAT OUTPUT TO CHANGE. MY DNC HAS A SORT FILE IT ONLY MAKES YOU PICK ABC OR DATE TIME YOU HAVE SHAKE HAND AND IT LETS YOU SET IT TO SOFTWARE THAT IS THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MINE AND YOUR UNIT I CANT GET IT TO UPLOAD IT

Hey I am attempting to setup a mazak with m32 controller to work with "DNC" via NCLink, and im just wondering if you could email me a sample ".eia" file that you know is working and i would be able to base the rest of my work off of. Thank you for the help

Please notice: I am in no way affiliated with the manufacture, distribution, or sale of these units in any way. This video was produced in an effort to demonstrate the use of a product that I purchased, at full price, and felt it to be everything claimed to be. Thank you for your time.

Yes, very easily! As large as you can fit on a USB drive! Just plug it in, call up the file, put the machine in "TAPE" mode, and hit cycle start................that easy!

Sure, I'm in the middle of programming at the moment but I'll email details shortly. I'll make videos for that as well as "drip feeding" this week....if things remain steady on the shop floor.
