Okuma MPMaster

Good Morning All,

I have had a call in to my reseller for almost 2 weeks now, so I hope I am not crossing any off limits areas. I am wondering if there is a X3 MPMaster for Okuma vertical mills....the machines are MB-46VA with Tsudakoma tilt-rotary tables. We don't do full 5 axis work, mostly 3+2 with some axis substitution.

 

Thanks in advance.

Kyle,

 

you do realize that as a 5 axis post, it will be a purchasable item. That is unless you're willing and able to start with one of the generics already available to you.

 

A 3+2 post is no different than a 5 axis post as LL of the 5 axis logic needs to be in place.

Thanks John,

 

That being said, I could start with the Fanuc 5ax post that came with the X3 install? I know that there is locking of the posts, I just wanted to be sure to get the most open possible post I could. Makes sense about the 3+2 vs 5 axes, just never really stopped to think about it. Thanks again.
