You need to make your own cable to start with. If i]the machine has a RS232 connector then it's relatively simple, buy some RS232 and DB9 connectors because it's your first time I imagine. Also get...

Not sure what you are comparing them to but we have a DNM500 10 years old and a brand new Okuma Genos M560 Ve. The Doosan is great. Can't really fault it apart from the Fanuc Controller that is slow...

Check the terminals on the motor and make sure it hasn't come loose. I had the same issue and was told it was a faulty drive. Turns out the terminals were loose. Saved 7K on a new board.

Hi Guys,

We have just installed a PUMA 6S lathe and having a few issues with manual measurement of tools, it has no tool eye unfortunately.

Normally on this kind of machine I would set use a...

Yep its a piece of seamless stainless steel tube, making decorative rings 1.5mm thick using a 1mm part off tool.

It's been running perfectly, thanks again for the help

OK so looks like I have had some success, went with the .min and .ssb option

Called my sub prog OSUB.SSB and put OSUB as a header and RTS at the end

MAIN.MIN

N100 V1=0
N200 CALL OSUB
N300...

Thanks for the help guys, looks like I need to do some more reading in the book.

Might go with the .min & .ssb option jeez they make this difficult. So easy on a Fanuc haha!

I'll keep you...

Hi All,

I am a bit stuck, been a while since I have been using an Okuma lathe and need help.

I have a simple part, lets call it a washer for argument's sake. I need to run my main or sub...

Ah ha,all sorted. I was trying to run in EZ Guide mode, once I got out of that, I put it in to tape mode, and hit (oprt) then the page I wanted came up. Also had to delete the O number and .txt from...

Hi all,

I recently bought a Doosan DNM 500 with a Fanuc i series controller. I need to drip feed a large 3D milling program from my memory card and haven't had much luck.

I have set up a few...

Hi all,

I have a VMC760 that is circular interpolating ovals, it seems to be about 0.08mm in Y. Anyone had experience in adjusting backlash on one of these style of machines, I am a Fanuc/Okuma...

Nevermind, sorted it out, it was TL=01------ TL=05------ TL=09------ easy peasy!

Hi all, we have a couple of multi tool - tool holders for our Multus and Macturn as per the picture. Having no luck in finding code to use it, ie index the spindle and clamp in 120 degree increments....

You can usually just CTRL C and CTRL V (copy paste) features from one project to another. You will have to recreate curves if the dimensions change but the tool, speeds and feeds etc will all be the...

Have spoken to Okuma, it is a software upgrade with another option in built. We will have to work around it for now but thankyou for all the help!

Ah ha so there is option I need then Okuma Wiz? Come to think of it I remember now doing a test in an LB3000 and the wear comp would work only in a positive direction. I will speak to Okuma Australia...

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has a Featurecam post for a Mazak QT200MSY? I am still on maintenance but our reseller can't give me an answer on whether we have to pay for a post since Autodesk...

Both have their advantages, having used both for many years I would say Featurecam is a better all round package (easy to use) for most machining except complex 3d machining, this is where Powermill...

Wow, thanks for the help guys.

Using Featurecam so and the program is outputting the centre of the cutter so I need to apply a wear offset only. I have leads in and out for the machine to apply...

Hi all,

I have had a problem trying to work out tool wear compensation for our Turn Milling machines. When using an endmill to say finish off the diameter of a pocket on the face of a job, I use a...

anyone had any experience fitting a 4th axis to a VMC before? Please...

Hi all, I have a VMC 760 in my shed and have a decent amount of work to justify fitting a 4th axis rotary table to it. I don't really need anything integrated, a standalone unit like the Haas with a...

Thanks guys, I have had a bit of help from our local Okuma team and things are going well, just takes a bit of time to get used to the different tool commands etc.

Hi there, I bought a used 2008 Okuma MacTurn 250w and had it installed last week. I haven't had much time to play with it but I need a bit of help getting started with tool changing the top (h1)...

Awesome, thanks for the replies, really helps knowing some of the gremlins before we dive into these things. No crashers allowed near this thing, I will be running it and I'm not a great fan of...

Hi All,

I am looking at a 2008 MacTurn 250W for a business I am helping to set up. I have heard a few horror stories about the Multus' s and was wondering if anyone out there has run Mac Turn's...

Hi there, I have just put a 1999 VMC 760 in the back shed and powered it up today. Problem is I need to cut an opening for the cabling around the Z axis so it doesn't hit the roof, I have already...

Ah awesome, I didn't know you could thread with a curve, well I have learnt something new today, cheers Perfect Circle!

Yikes, might just stick to conventional methods for the minute unless we get a decnt production job that needs it! Might ask our support to see if they can make it a standard option. Thanks for your...

Thanks for the help guys, I have managed to sort this out and the plunge clearance differs from powermill as a distance from the Z zero rather than the distance from the start of the toolpath z....
