Okuma multus

Maybe stupid question but .....

How hard to move from Okuma VMC to Okuma Multus ?

[crazy^millman]

Like asking how hard to move from milling to turning machine that also has Multi axis milling abilities. Look at the MT product for that machine.

If you have both lathe AND mill experience it makes going to any mill/turn easier but it isnt the end of the world if you haven't run both. You then have the added opportunity to learn about lathe work

Hello guys ,merry Christmas !

Thank you for replay ,

Just installed Mastercam XLE on my laptop to learn mill turn option .

But there is no any machines in "machine definition directory". Copied some from CNC machines -lathe . Still not there .

How to get this thing running ? Can't ask my reseller, everybody on holiday. Good time to learn but not good time to ask .

I program a B400 Multus almost exclusively. The biggest issue I have experienced is post issues. IMO The Multus is a fussy machine, it likes to see things a certain way. After almost a year and a half, my re-seller is still working on post issues. NOT there fault. There are some things we rarely, if ever do. And when those things pop up, you find a post issue. If there is a perfect Multus post out there, It has not been made available to me.

 

I use X-7 MU1 with great success. We can't justify the xxxxxx price tag for MT to program 1 machine.

 

Good Luck!

hello AEP,

Are you using Okuma native IGF to program your Multus ?
