What is involved in adding a touch probe to an Okuma with a P200M Control if one already has a touch probe and interface (Renishaw OMP)?

From what I can tell, the Okuma control applies probes...

I am putting in a MC-V4020 (2008 with OSP P200M and 15K Spindle), and it will be powered by a Phase Perfect PT-3110.

The Lang Quick point system claims a .0004" repeatability on each locating pin in their Quickpoint system. Is there any reason that this system could not be adapted to a lathe? I can think of some...

Thanks for clarifying. I thought that was the case, but when reading the HM marketing data, they only mention 3+2 in the 5 axis brochure.

In Hypermill, is 3+2 (X,Y,Z machining on a part tilted around B and C axis) part of the normal 3 Axis milling package? It is very unclear from their website and brochures. I am looking at adding a...

Thanks guys...I did not think there would be an issue.

As for the yoke...I don't know if I would call it that. It is MASSIVE already...and the new one I will make will be even stronger. This...

Some background 1st: I am doing a CNC retrofit on a large knee mill. The head is going to get replaced with a 4 KW high speed spindle mounted on a rotary axis with a RON series Heidenhain rotary...

Thanks...

Any suggestions on practicing scraping turcite. I know it will scrape different than iron....

Perhaps get some dura-bar... Maybe a 3 x 12 block or two.... mill both sides...bond...

OK...so I had a northern CA machine tool re-builder (was recommended to me on this site...and another forum as well....) do a "partial" reconditioning on my Lagun FTV4....

At the time...I did...

What is the typical price of a new Faro Gage? (The base model...not the Faro Gage Plus)

I have seen figures anywhere from $15K to $25K....

Thanks!

I think you would need a C-axis lathe that controlled the C-axis using a true rotary table type mechanism instead of direct spindle control. Something like a worm gear or harmonic drive running on a...

Ha ha ...sometimes I even know what they mean.

I need a quick change collet chuck that will hold 1.9375" round minimum. It needs to hold collet chuck tolerances (.0005 TIR). I can not use a drawbar type.

ATS has a manual scroll type, but...

double,

That is exactly what I was thinking. For very small displacements, y = r*theta, with theta in radians. X is not effected. For larger displacements, things are much more complex. r has...

Yes...I do need some way to get these holes threaded. I would prefer to do it in one set up...hence live tooling.

I dont think you read my question. I KNOW I can't tap directly that big. That...

Has anyone used this product yet?

In their application notes, they reference use with a Fagor 8070 controller. I am planning on using this with a 8055. This will...

There were some really good posts on the other thread asking about the ST20. Not sure if anyone out there has any experience with the ST30 yet...but here goes.

If all goes to plan, we will need a...

GP,

I think you need to get one of the SolidWorks Partner Add Ins.

The two that come to mind are DesignWorks, and RevWorks.

The demo Video of DesignWorks is pretty impressive. It works...

On my Lagun FTV-4, I was adjusting the X axis and Y axis gibs....and think I may have diagnosed an issue.

I bought the mill used about 6 months ago...and have not had time to work on it till...

Does anyone make a 5 Axis machine (router) with split rotary axis...ie an axis on the table? Having both rotary axis on the head is great for most applications, but it is terrible for my...

Today I called Lagun, hoping to get some guidance and info on my FTV-4. I was not sure how much help they would be. I got in touch with the Parts/Service Sales Rep...but I had some technical...

A new Lagun FTV4...manual machine...is $38K. For less than 8, I will have an as new machine. Pretty sure you can't beat that...even with the retrofit costs.

Also...for a mill this size...what components would you recommend....

This is a big mill. 11" x 58" table, and 1200# table capacity. It weighs 4000#+

Ball screws? Nook Industries? Others?...

I need contact info and recommendations for rebuilders in the Bay Area, CA.

I am purchasing a used Lagun FTV 4, mid 80's vintage, 4 HP, NT40. It is in very good shape. Starting at the column. ...

Gears are not that hard as long as you machine the axis for the bearing supports correctly, so all 4 shafts are perfectly parallel, and hold the correct center distances.

I was planning on installing an encoder on the spindle. I am sure that there is a way to implement speed control that can accomodate gears. As for the 10" limiting usefullness...it is still double...

I am thinking of building this, to mount on a Lagun FTV4 (BIG beefy knee mill...).
