Okuma probing

[mig]

Hi everybody

We have Okuma Genos with probe .

When it does hole measuring ,it touching 4 points only

.What if i rotate measuring routing by G10 P... .

Is it crasy idea ? Is it going to work?

Thank you in advance .

I see YoDoug below. I feel his answer is forthcoming

by G10 P.... do you mean G68 coordinate rotation?

 

If you are using the renishaw macros and also use a G68 co-ordinate rotation it will not work, or it didn't for me atleast on my mazaks.

 

There is a 3 point bore cycle with the renishaw macros that you can specify the angles where it probes.

 

Hope that helps and that i actually answered your question!

Zack is correct. We have a Renishaw on our Okuma Multus (and all our Daewoo VMCs) and any sort of coordinate rotation will either a) make the probe alarm out or make the probe do some wacky $4it. You either have to do it through the macro, or offline in Productivity Plus.

I know from experience that the Renishaw macros or Okuma macros will not work while in G10. Your two choices are a custom macro that calculates single G30 probe hits based on a formula and then find diameter/center/etc or the Renishaw Prod+ will allow just about as many points in a circle as you want. We use the stand alone Renishaw Prod+ here and it is great. Well worth the investment.

I completely agree that it is well worth the investment. We had only one machine that had a probe on it, for years it was just that machine, using the in-control macros. Then one day we decided to splurge and outfit another machine with a probe, and got Prod+ for it. It was such an amazing improvement that within a few months we bought *four* more probes.
