Have you ever needed to...

...do off-line programming? Draw parts and output to both Mazatrol and EIA/G-code? Load and edit existing CAD files (such as DXF, IGES, CADL, etc.)? Convert EIA/G-Code to Mazatrol? Print a Mazatrol program? Store or move your Mazatrol programs-even to other CNC machines? These were all common problems Mazak owners had been facing for years.

Conventional NC programming methods are in most cases time consuming and cause unnecessary down-time. Geopath solves these problems.

Making a great machine even better.

Mazatrol offers an excellent programming platform for machinists, however when it comes to large or complex programs, manual programming can become time consuming while your machine is sitting idle. Geopath will increase the existing programming power of Mazatrol and will help you get the most out of your Mazak. Besides making programming easier and faster, there are numerous other benefits (explained below) that makes the combination of Geopath and Mazatrol very profitable.

Geopath provides a fully integrated CAD/CAM system, with a full set of true CAD features to draw new parts or load and edit existing CAD files.

Not just off-line programming... it's a complete CAD/CAM system.

SolutionWare enhanced its own complete CAD/CAM system---Geopath for Windows----with the Direct Mazatrol Output module. Geopath with the Mazatrol module offers Mazatrol programmers a full array of CAD/CAM capabilities, with the additional function of outputting Mazatrol programs. Hence Geopath is not just a mere 'off-line assistance package', but instead it is the only complete CAD/CAM system with Mazatrol output capabilities for your Mazaks, and G-Code output for other CNC Machines. This module has proven to be a great success with Mazak owners in today's manufacturing market, and is in use in companies such as Boeing, Siemens and Caterpillar.

Additionally to the Direct Mazatrol Output module, a Mazatrol Editor is also available. So, save time and write or edit your programs off-line.

What satisfied users have to say:

"Since purchasing SolutionWare's Geopath for Windows with Direct Mazatrol Output I have found that our downtime has been reduced by 80%! The software is also easy to learn and after completing a two day class I was off and running." -- Richard Esser, Ermco

"Before we installed Geopath for Windows we always had idle machines on the shop floor, but now by fully utilizing this system we have increased our production to the extent that we recently had to start a night shift, for the first time ever, to keep up with production." -- JB Rodriguez Jr., Star Tool & Engineering

"We have both Mazaks and other machines, and when programming parts we have found that Geopath is very easy to use and void of complexities. It is also very easy to make multiple parts." -- Angel Lopez, Boeing

Cut parts in a real manufacturing environment. Geopath makes your Mazak fully compatible with other machine tools (Fanuc, etc.).

Geopath provides a wide array of CAM features that will make your programming easier and faster. Use these features to increase productivity.

Easy Mazatrol to G-Code conversion.

SolutionWare's Off-Line Mazatrol Editor is now capable of taking existing Mazatrol programs of a Mazatrol control and convert them to G-code, bringing in all relevant tool information, including speeds, feeds, depth of cuts, etc.

Geopath configurable post-processors can then output the G-code the way you want it to your G-code machines. For more information please contact SolutionWare.
