Okuma MB4000H Catastrophic Brake Failure by EWW Enterprise Inc. | Photobucket
The B axis brake on my 2011 Okuma MB4000H self destructed. The machine had intermintent B axis MCS diff over (following error) alarms for a while. Typically the machine would alarm at the first...
I recently had a bar feed interface installed on my 2008 Okuma Captain lathe with P200 control. A new version of the OSP software needed to be installed, and a new version of Windows XP needed to be...
Less than 1 hour left. :)
Boy this forum doesn't get much action lately. The last three posts in the Fadal forum were from me in this thread.

Only 2 days left :)
I sold my Fadals and still have this ball lock pallet system. Anyone Interested?

Thanks for looking :cheers:
Open the small door next to the monitor. You might have a pcmcia port (used on older laptops) or if your lucky a usb port. This is where I'd start, then it gives you time to get the rs232 port...
You could get spindle grinding service to grind the taper in place. I know it doesnt fix the root of the problem, but you could probably get a couple grinds before swapping a spindle. They did a...
My alignment was off too. Coolant was spraying on the arm and leaking into the plunger bore. This caused the plungers to hydraulic lock and the arm slipped back. I only noticed it when the tool...
No spindle bearing issues I know about. We caught the leak right away. There was a little coolant on the top of the drawbar but none near the spindle bearings.
I cut mild steel, aluminum, and...
It's been working fine. I only had one issue so far the rotary coupling started leaking. That was because the drain line wasn't attached to anything and it moved so the end of the line was above...
Nice looking mill!
Thank you for taking the time to address my "almost valid concerns" and I apologize for my lack of finesse. :) I promise I'll let the thread die, but I have to respond to a couple of the points you...
Machineit, I didn't attack you. I responded to your rant by asking you to answer a few questions which you never did. Then you indirectly called me an @sshole, and my tone toward you changed but...
And here is a quote from Machineit from that same thread when his panties were in a wad because someone, not me btw, posted a negative opinion about Haas. Which I replied with facts not emotional...
Couldn't get more obvious than that. What I don't understand is why the "business side" of Haas believes they shouldn't make meaningful improvements in their products. They spend a lot of time...
No personal score to settle. Was a Haas owner but now I can't justify purchasing a Haas machine because of all their shortcomings, although I would prefer to support an american machine tool...
Well that is what happened. But that's not the impression I got from our HFO salesman.
The subspindle axis is called w on okuma. The w axis can be anywhere in its travel when you set the z zero for the sub. You can then move the w anywhere in its travel and the machine will...
Why does Haas always make things harder than they have to. On Okumas you can set the z zero for the sub anywhere in it's travel. You can then machine on the sub with it anywhere in it's travel, the...
Anyone know how to upgrade ADMAC parts, the standalone PC version?
I had it on an win xp 32 bit computer, but was hoping I could get an upgrade for win 7 64 bit.
Thanks in advance :cheers:
You might be interested to know that one of the things the Fanuc tech did when he was here was to check to see if there were any options enabled that shouldn't be enabled. He said it was a problem...
I've had options installed after the initial machine install. Yes it's best to order them with the machine, but that's probably true for most machine builders.
I've had extra m-codes installed...
The Acculube is not a mister, it's a minimum quantity lubrication system. You shouldn't see mist coming out of the nozzle. There is a setting for how much oil the pump puts out and an air flow...
Okuma's not as bad as Fanuc on option pricing. I had two relitively easy options I wanted to install on my 31iA. Helical interpolation, and tool offset memory C. Fanuc wanted $1500 to drive out...
Just wanted to add my 2c :)
I really like the fact that okuma's absolute encoders don't rely on batteries that I have to change. I had a fanuc 31iA for a few years and there are lots of...
I have an okuma lathe with live lools, c axis, and a vdi turret. I have to line up the radial live tools on this lathe too. On my lathe there are two setscrews that are used to adjust the position...
There's a setting that limits the rapid override to 50%
Don't think there is a way to program it but I might be wrong.
FeatureCAM does a good job with live tool lathes. I use it for my okuma captain with c axis. Price is good too.
I've had my MB4000H for almost a year now. It's been a great machine so far!
I didn't anchor the machine down (need to re-arrange the shop first) and the machine would shake violently when the...
