C-Axis Orientation / Lock
I have OSP700L, OSP7000L, OSP U10L and OSP U100L. A new job I'm putting in does not use the draw bar for clamping. The fixture has strap clamps to hold the part. I'm looking for a way to orient the spindle and lock it in place for load. The M19 does not work on them for orientation. I think I could use a threading cycle at the end of the program to get the orientation. But I still need a way to lock it to tighten the clamps. I could use any of the above machines to run it. So it it possible on any of them? If so how?
Edit:
None of these machines have live tooling.

Pics added. Just need to lock the spindle so it doesn't move while clamping the part.
Re: C-Axis Orientation / Lock
Thanks for trying to help. According to Okuma's applications department. In order to get both orientation and servo lock of the spindle you need to have the Spindle Orientation option turned on.
Re: C-Axis Orientation / Lock
I think the only way is to turn on the spindle orientation function and use the M19. It is software only and requires no hardware.
Maybe Kurmay can grant your wish?
