Thanks! We played with the upper turret and found that we could move the leadscrew by hand so we opened the clam shells and heaved it over the old fashioned way!

The full error is: 865-41 ALARM-P...

My Macturn is failing to power up due to an encoder error on the TB (lower axis tool index) axis.

Hi!

I have a Macturn 250-W with an E100L control. I was doing an alignment on the B-Axis setting the PR CONNECT/ZERO parameters. When I rebooted the control I got the error:

835 ALARM-P MCS...

This is incorrect on my system. The lube injectors force pressure to build at the pump, not resistance in the path to the ways. The timer has to be on long enough for all pins I mentioned to all...

Hi Rob;

I own a '98 and they are still supported but Okuma is not always an easy company to figure out. On my Macturn they quoted 14-16 week delivery on a memory upgrade and it's newer than my...

Hi All!

I recently built a heatsink/case for my Raspberry Pi (credit card sized computer) out of solid aluminum on a 9-Axis mill/turn CNC. I thought is was an interesting enough machining project...

I don't have CAS so I don't know if this will work but one thing you may want to try is finding the setting for exporting the STL as either ASCII or binary. They may only read one format. I use CAD...

Hi James;

Sorry CNCzone did not send me a note on your reply. I think the sensors you are talking about are not used on my cam (there are 2 types of changers, the other one had 2 sensors reading...

I still have not found a suitable sensor that looks responsible. The only thing that looks amiss is the MA numbers in AXIS DATA: RAPA is 178.556 and RCON is 64.794

Generally these 2 numbers are...

My Macturn is an E100 so my problem may have been different. I don't recall the error it threw but once during power down (or up) it wiped the contents of one of the compact flash cards, taking all...

It's been working fine for years. Wed morning started to have intermittent problems. By the afternoon, every tool change.

Yes, it only changes tools in a designated home position. This is fine....

Hi All;

I have a Macturn 250W with an E100L control that is having troubles with the A turret tool changer. It simply stalls in the middle of a tool change; sometimes the arm swings to the...

Freak of a controller? They are all pretty easy once you learn the dialects.

Here's what I do on my E100L. Inside the MIN file:

CALL OBSET (B TURRET OFFSET CONFIG)

Dumb question from me but have you checked the NC panel to make sure "DISPLAY OFF" button has not been accidentally pressed?

Kev

Sorry, haven't checked in for awhile.

My machine does not respond to M355/356. Maybe M control is an option.

Thanks anyway!

Kev

Hi!

I have a mill with an OSP700M. The machine has a chip wash and conveyor. I can't find an M Code for either, just seem to have the buttons on the control.

Anyone with pointer on how to...

Hi OkumaWiz;

I only had 9 parts left to run this morning but they all went through fine. Moving the cancel torque control may be it! I am now running some smaller parts (3.5 od). They have not...

Thanks OkumaWiz!

Moving the G28 makes some sense. I'm trying it right now. Made it though the first 2 parts fine but the machine has been intermittent for the last 2 days. Seems to miss for...

Hi akl-kiwi!

See this thread:

Thanks!

Kev

Just checked in and I see CNC zone has not been e-mailing me as post are added to this thread.

I haven't had the problem for quite awhile but it showed up again. This is the code where it gets...

FWIW, I recently spoke to a friend of mine who used to run a Multus and his threw its tools once too. We are in Canada and the frost heave from thawing in the spring causes our building foundations...

Thanks akl-kiwi!

IIS in Win7 is different and ftp is not setup by default but all of the tools are there (and improved). I can log in and transfer files from both Windows and Linux pc's so the...

Hi All;

I have an E100L with ethernet and I am using ftp to get files on and off the control. Has been working great but the Windows 2000 pc that acts as my ftp server is getting pretty tired. ...

Hi OkumaWiz;

This is embarrassing but I don't remember what the status lights were. I know I've looked at them in the past. The machine has had this problem for a long time but it used to only...

Yes, the sensor is set up correct. I didn't mention it's an E100 control. But I can see the signal coming on solid on the i/o operation screen; no flicker at all.

Yesterday, once the machine...

Hi!

I've got a Macturn 250W and I have an intermittent problem that has turned into a continuous problem.

I have a part where the subspindle picks up the part, pulls it out and parts it off. ...

Okuma's IF logic is coded for a jump following the logic statement. budgieW's example is the way I would do it.

Kev

I don't know if this is of any help but: on my 700 control I once tried to copy a file with a name that began with the letter O. The control reported a floppy error but it was just that it didn't...

Thanks BudgieW!

Not sure how many times I looked right over it in my manual.

Now if I could just find a parameter for the loader!
