okuma post

[rchoward]

I am new to this site.

 

I am travelling high to the mountain top looking for help from the zen masters

 

i run an okuma 4020 machine

 

my post generates a G53 Z0. command at the end of each tool

 

it also generates a G53 X0. Y0. Z0. at the end of each program

 

another code i want to omit is an A0. after each tool change

 

i want all these codes to not be generated as they are death moves that need to be edited on each program... it is just a matter of time until i forget and go boom

 

any help on thsi would be awsome...

 

i want to learn more about posts... but i am afraid to ask

use the FILE EDIT PST to edit the post you are using and look thru it for the ofending text inside of "Quotes" usually thats where I find these special lines of code that I do not want.

 

SAVE a copy under a different name first so you can go back to the way your post was if you delete/change the wrong thing.

 

then post a program and see if you get what you want do a single tool program and a multi-tool program as the post uses different section of code to run each.

The answer does lie within the allmighty post, and there are many people on this forum that could re-do it for you. However I have found a great deal of on going and free post support from my mastercam dealer, that would be a good place to start. Well, not mine but yours!

The quick answer is that not all posts are created equally. Even the default Mpfan post has changed in structure from V6 to V7 to V8/V9. To make the edits, you'll need to hunt down the correct postblocks to modify. The correct postblocks will depend entirely on your post and its lineage. Your reseller should always be the best place to look for these type of modifications. The post questions that actually get on the forum are either very general questions, or very specific with code examples. A specific question about an unspecified post is fairly impossible to address.

EWWWWWWWWW Okuma. that'a mickey mouse peice of junk. we affectionately call ours "GOOFY".

[rchoward]

trying to get a rise out of me not going to happen

 

the okuma kicks xxxx... until ican afford a matsura that is

[gary dunn]

ours is fairly easy to set up. i like that about it. our others are a bostomatic with a 10K and a

40K spindle, a maho 4 zxis and a couple of roeders

for electrodes. i think i prefer the bosto myself.

We run two Okumas, a MX55VB vertical machining centre, with a 12000RPM BT50 spindle, and a LB25II lather. I've yet to see a control that beats an Okuma for flexbility. I've used Meldas, Fanucs, Seicos, Yasnac as well as Okuma, and imho, the Okuma has the best cycles, for ease of programming. They're just so damn expensive

(My opinion, of course)

Bravo Mick!

Okuma is the best machine that I ever know for 20 years . Easy operate , very precise and strong.

Has very user friendly control. Problem that people try drive Okuma(Cadillac) as for example Fadal(piece of junk).

[Mick]

hehe....indeed. I've been very Okuma biased for years. I learnt how to operate and program on them, and I've used plenty of others.....And still always feel more comfortable with Okuma

I have a good okuma post . If you want it i will

 

E-mail it to you. The 4 axis works. OSP-U10M

[Simtech]

In line with previuos posts:

 

1. Make backup copy of original post;

2. Set variable fastmode to 0;

3. Run the post and determine the post block name that is outputting the unwanted code (written at the end of the line;

4. Probably post blocks you are looking for are ptlchg0, ptlchg and peof.

5. Put an astericks (#) in front of the line that is outputting the wrong code.

6. Test run the post again.

7. Don't forget to reset variable fastmode when all is said and done.

 

Just my 2%

md: I'd be keen to look at the post. Does it output the M15/M16 to define the direction of rotation for the 4th axis? I've been looking at implementing that into my current post, but I cant seem to get it to work.

 

I'll email you from home, so you have my home email addy

[md]

Mick:E-mail is not working right now i will

send you a copy as soon as works again.

 

this post uses Variables VC31,VC32,VC33

 

G30 P=VC31

 

I use them for tool changes & home position
