Switching a Mazak program from Mazatrol to EIA mid-job

A Mazatrol process is faster to write for the family of parts, but one feature needs EIA. The EIA section runs and then the Mazatrol return move expects a position the EIA left behind. The turret rapids to a surprising place.

Hand the position back in a known state. Before returning to Mazatrol, cancel the EIA offsets and modes you turned on and move to a safe index position the Mazatrol process expects. A return that assumes the turret is home will rapid from wherever EIA stopped.

Prove the handoff in single block above the part. The surprise rapid is the whole risk.

If the EIA feature is permanent, keep it, but write the return as carefully as the feature. The feature is not done until Mazatrol has the turret back.
