We use Esprit to program the machine. When we bought the machine, MasterCAM could program this machine, in fact in 2006 you could not even syn two turrets together. MasterCAM may be able to do it now, but for this kind of machine, there software needs several more years to mature.
My point is if the programming software can't do everything, it might as well do nothing.
We purchased our NT4250SZ in 2006. The total cost for the machine was $760K. This machine has a 180 tool magazine, probing,etc, second turret with milling, tool presetter, renishaw probe, chip blaster high pressure coolant, smw quick change chucks, B-axis indexing to .0001 degree....
This machine will do anything. It's like the post office flat rate mail, "If it fits, it's chips".
@MazakApplications I just got a quote on a Mori NT 4200....and they are nowhere near a million dollars...about half and that is optioned.....ain't no over priced Mazak junk...
Anyone who actually knows what their talking about knows that an NT4200 is over a million dollars. Any multitasking machine that isn't absolutely bite sized is over 500k easily.
what would be the best software to program this with? i dont like mastercam, but the only other one i know of here in the NW is edgecam. any thoughts?
The NT3200 is around 500k with the second spindle, turret, and something like 80 tools. I don't think the 4200 is a million, probably more like 600k.

OOps, I forgot the word "not" in the second sentence. MasterCAM could "NOT" program this machine.

@geekworks best software for programing these machines is either CamWorks with SolidWorks or EspritCAM that comes as an option with the NT Mori.....
