I have an account on Mastercam.com. but it wont let me access the Tech Exchange. Whats up with that? Do you have to be current on maintenance for the tech exchange?
-
I tried that several times, with several driver versions, and it didn't work. And like I said, I've never had the issue with any other CAD or CAM system, only Mastercam.
-
Its still a problem, even with 2019. I installed 2019 the other day, and checked it. The scroll wheel on my Microsoft mouse only zooms out, no matter which direction I scroll the wheel. It has been like it since, I think X was released. I asked about it several times, but the answer was "its a Microsoft problem". I've not had any problems with the scroll wheel in any other CAD or CAM application.

Holy sh**! Chris Kozell in the house? Yes, already requested this from Okuma. I'll probably have to wait a couple of years though
-
Me.... I'm supplied pre-confused
-
You could be on to something Mr G... That could either work, or confuse the h3ll out of the controller... LOL

The only Okuma with Y axis CSS is in Charlotte... I was in touch with them before I tried the method myself. I'm not sure how they did it (I'm assuming a software "hack"), because using the G11 axis rotation still resulted in the physical X axis driving the speed.

I stood in front of the Starry Night in Moma in NYC. That painting gets me every time. I'm not sure why, but it must be the power of art.

Has anyone tried this method of parting off? I've recently trialled it, and got very favourable results. Really nice parting blade with coolant being applied both over and under the insert. I ran a feedrate twice what I would normally run, and it cut well, with a better finish than normal. The only drawback is our U3000 doesn't have constant surface speed on the Y axis, and no amount of cheating managed to get it to do so (I did try coordinate rotation but it was a no go)
-
+1 for Semi finishing. I always have a semi finishing operation in hard or difficult materials. This typically gives a constant stock remaining for the finishing tool(s), so the tools are under a consistent load, which results in a more even finish.

Machining Cloud by Smart Manufacturing
Mick replied to [email protected]'s topic in Industrial Forum
Yes, I knew the Sandvik add-in was $$, as is Coroplus standalone, but I was told last year that they were going to start charging for Machining Cloud in general. I cant recall where that came from. Maybe they realised that the usage would drop right now if they started charging I need to look at Coroplus again, I used Adveon a lot, but I know the initial versions of Coroplus were chunky. Hopefully, they've improved things. -
Machining Cloud by Smart Manufacturing
Mick replied to [email protected]'s topic in Industrial Forum
I heard a while back that they were going to start charging for it. Did that not eventuate? -
Thanks for the comprehensive explanation Doug. When was G605 made available?
-
G605 is DFO? We use CALL OO88 but then, they probably updated since then.
-
That would depend on the location, that's for sure.
-
It all depends on how you're introduced to it. And it needs to be treated with a clean approach
-
Actually, if you re-read it, I'm not stirring. I don't particularly care, but because it said "In House" the post was obviously from Inhouse, and as such, they should be able to make the mod, or show you, and as is always suggested here, that contact should be through your reseller. Still, take it how you see it....
-
Hah, well I'm loving my new digs
-
Obvious question on my part.... It is an In-House post. Why not ask your reseller, and get them to process the modification through In-House? I'm sure they could action that pretty promptly.
-
Yes, unfortunately, that is the case. But, we can't justify paying what we pay, for the little that we get (in terms of things other than updates, if you know what I mean) In all honesty, we wont be using 2019 anyway. Heck, I'm barely using 2018
-
We get 2019 as we just fit under the cutoff... That will be the last version I will have anything to do with. An end of a 25 year run.

How to flip flip on an Okuma Lathe
Mick replied to MachineMuch?'s topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
Or... have the following: First Operation M0 (Flip Part) VZOFZ=VZOFZ-X (X Being the value you want to shift the zero set) Second Operation VZOFZ=VZOFZ+X (Shift Z Zero set back to original Zero set value) M2 That is how I do it. -
Probably a long shot, but would anyone have a CAD model (preferably STEP) of one of these machines?
-
LOL, new user with two posts, and both are in a resurrected thread 13 years old. I just think that is funny
-
I gotta say Okuma. But I love'em . Okuma and T**S**** is a beautiful thing too LOL
