Alf installed mastercam here about 18 months ago. I have only seen him once since then and are still waiting for my solids manual.

Cutterman,

I hear you Alfred who who who...........

I have a Mastercam solids book.

You are more than welcome to borrow mine if you like.

I actually have it at home with me its V9 solids.Also V9 lathe if your interested.

So if you email me I can get it to you some how and im sure it will be a lot quicker than Alfred.

As one of my coworkers said we have 2 verticals. They are definately 2 of the top machines in our building. Very rigid. Nice machines, I wish we had more of them.

Mick,

This is the Turn/Milling post....

# Control Name : OSP7000

# Description : GENERIC OKUMA /W LAP3 CYCLES & C-AXIS SUPPORT

 

You are correct in that the post if you turn on Misc #2 it should post out a canned cycle.Well thats what the text in post says.But when posted the code is longhand?Its not a canned cycle?

 

[Thee Cutterman]

Dave,

This post uses the old style canned cycle. You need to create a "dumbie" finish pass along with the roughing for it to work. read the info inside the post lines 72 to 134.

Ring Graham and he will explain.

Go Cats!

[DavidB]

I understand that.That post puts out a Line number to define the start or the LAP cycle not a NLAP.Im working on it.

 

Do you want to borrow my solids book?

 

Thanks

We have a veritable Okuma showroom:

 

4 LNC8 Cadet lathes with the 5020L control

4 L370 Captain lathes with the E100L control

2 ES-V3016 VMCs with the U10M control

1 LT15-M Twin / Twin live tool lathe with the U100L control

 

AND I'm trying to get the funds released to buy 2 more L370 Captains right now

 

When I first started working here I had never seen an Okuma before and I HATED the controls at first because they are considerably different that Yasnac / Fanuc / Haas structure controls [we have all of those here, too]. Now if I had my choice of lathes [which I pretty much do] I would not buy any other machine tool than an Okuma; the controls are very powerful and easy to understand once you get used to them, the machines are powerful, fast, rigid, and deadly accurate and NEVER have maintenance issues

 

Okuma ROCKS!!!

 you wouldn't probably have the okuma captain l370 live tooling post files..i just started this new job and it a small job shop, they cant afford to get one developed, and im really trying to keep my job, if i can get this machine making parts with their live tooling. ill have some job security

[jeff]

 they cant afford to get one developed, 

Dude, it's a 12 year old thread........

 

That's their problem, not yours.

By the way, asking for posts is not allowed.

Scratch that... ask all you want.... but good luck finding someone to give you one.
