Re: Okuma v Makino
I have worked a lot with the PC Controls and
they are excellent features; but normally do not have as long of a "product life-cycle" if they use off the shelf hardware.
hello gwood, please, can you explain that a bit ? i don't understand
Makino uses a customized Fanuc is famous for
High-speed Tool & Die, Aerospace and Special Graphite machining.
okuma has:
... hicut ( optimization for deceleration and acceleration at toopath joints; good for hsm )
... supernurbs ( toolpath interpolation, in order to speed up machining complex toolpaths, with accuracy < 1um )
... hypersurface ( toopath regression; there is no more needed to optimize the cloud density output by a cam; is like a dehoter )
*and many others
it would be interesting to overload each machine with a complex toolpath, high density, and see which one behaves smoother and faster
youtube "okuma vs makino"
Fanuc stands behind their Drives and Controls which have excellent reliability
okuma develops it's own cnc, and it is a piece of art, especially the latest osp300api; also, fanuc compatible; if required, it may be 100% fanuc, but it would be less capable
On the fanuc's options are extra; but Makino offers "Option Packages"
fanuc is installed across multiple machine brands, and this limits it's spread of special functions
okuma's special function manuals are 400pages, about 80 special functions
