Thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it.
How would I check to see if exact stop is on or off? I am not familiar with that term. Baud rate is as high as I can go. When I do 3D profiles, it feeds fine.
Mazak VTC 20 B
When I do a mill thread feature, it has a very slow intermittent feed. I set the feed for 25 ipm and it will only do it smoothly at 5 ipm. I am using V33 and sending to M Plus control via pred ed and...
I have a Mazak VTC-20B with M Plus controller. When I do3 D or anything with lots of g code, I get parity errors multiple times throughout the process. Also, the movement is slow and interrupted....
I figured it out. The P value was the problem. The P value determines which quadrant the nose comp is figured from. But I am very grateful for your response. Your recent advice has been helpful.
Well, the boring op is cutting .06" under. But if I change nose comp to zero, it bores to the correct size.
I only program in IGF mode. I have the OSP 5020L control. On the tool data page, are the x and z nose r comp numbers simply the radius on the insert? Do I enter the insert radius on both the x and z?...
I want to use my BobCad software to create programs for my Okuma lathe. It has the OSP 5020L control. It is a 1997 model lathe. I have the cable running from my laptop to a DNC device and then to the...
I changed the 11 to 11.5 and removed the M7 and 3. It worked fine after that.
I tried to modify the g code but it doesn't like my changes. I uploaded the g code as it is before editing.
I am threading in the IGF mode. I need to enter 11-1/2 TPI and I cannot figure it out. I can only program with IGF. I am not good with entering G code. It is a 2" NPS thread. How do I get a half...
Recently purchased this mill. I turned it on for the first time and homed it out. Jogged it around manually, ran the spindle manually, loaded a program from my laptop, all good. I then told it to get...
I have an Okuma Cadet LNC 8. One of my young guys crashed a big drill and now the drill will not indicate back to concentric with the chuck. How do I realign? I'm pretty sure I have to remove the...
I just bought a used Mazak VTC-41 with Mazatrol EIA control. After I run power to the machine, what's next? I'd like to get it going myself to avoid paying a technician $200 an hour.
FOUND IT!!!
I think this will help a lot. I just don't know how to go into the parameters and change it.
Which page in parameters to change to zig zag?
I get about 3-4 parts before the insert breaks. Affirmative on the chatter. Good coolant flow. I will check the tool to see if it is on center.
According to the Mits rep, if I approach at 30 or 60 I will be cutting on both sides of the insert. He seems to think this is what I need to do. It is a 5/8 diameter rod. I am using a live center.
Okuma Cadet with OSP5020L control,
I use the canned cycles through IGF. I don't know how to G Code anymore.
I'm trying to thread a 5/8-18 thread on CRS by 12 inches length of thread.
I have a...
Very interesting and helpful info here. I have been machining since 1990 and I am still learning so much. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks. This helped a lot. I'm very grateful for you taking the time.
How do you clamp something to bore out the jaws? A big ring?
Okuma LNC 8 Cadet with OSP 5020L control, So I get set up to bore my jaws and turn the spindle on, it starts to spin and suddenly stops with a 119 chuck open alarm. I shut it down and hoped it would...
Thanks Okuma Wiz! I was able to go into the IGF parameters and describe my tailstock to the machine. However, I found that the easiest way to clear the tailstock is by changing the Z location of each...
Where are you "Okuma Wiz"? I know you can help me out here. :)
I found the section in the operation manual for setting the tailstock barrier and did that. However, the tool is still going to crash. What am I missing? Tool interference area maybe? Entering an...
Or maybe I should ask, how do I set the relay points to go around the center?
How do I ensure that my tool doesn't crash into my live center when I start my program? I program with the IGF and not G-Code.
