I saw a few tool life management screens on our Okuma Captain L370BBMW. Far as I can tell they work based on tool usage. Does anyone know if the spindle load can be used instead? Kinda like how Haas does it? With a Haas you can enter the max percentage of spindle load and the machine will alarm if it goes over what is set.
Also the rapid override switch is the same as the feed override switch. Is there anyway to have the switch control only the rapids? I like to take it easy on the rapids on the first few parts, but I don't want to be cutting at 10% of the programmed feed. I end up having to single block and turn the override switch up when it's cutting then back down for the rapid moves. At the speed the lathe moves this is a recipe for a crash if I make a mistake.
Thanks in advance :cheers:
