Nakamura NTMX

[Guest]

Curious is anyone successfully programming one of these machines with Mastercam?

I almost bought one of these machines about a year and a half ago. CNC software said they were working on getting this machine in their MTM module.

I have programmed many different Nakamura's using Mastercam. Mind you not in MT, but using Lathe and Mill. Getting the right post is key here. Shoot me and email.

Yes. I have.

 

Not the MT product, standard lathe. I use the "LATHE MULTI  AXIS  MILL - TURN  ADVANCED 2 - 4 - B" machine def. and CAMplete TurnMill as the post.

 

I don't program any part transfers. CAMplete has all that for me.

I have programmed a Macturn 250W and a NT1000 with mastercam. I use the on board IGF and MAPPS as the master program that calls a whole bunch of NC files that come from Mastercam

Thanks for the replies....They are looking at one today, so I was asked if it can be done in Mastercam......knowing the limitations of Mastercam Lathe, I thought it could but sync codes and all would be the biggest issue.....

 

Even "if" CNC has a module for it, I can see them buying something else for it before doing that.....

 

 

They already have a "highend" 5 axis machine tool dealer telling them they need to buy Powermill if they buy this particular machine, which of course is total BS and I called it out yesterday as such.

Not to hijack, but I have the same question, but on the NTY3. We just ordered 2 Nakamura Tome NTY3 with bar feeders, and Camplete. I hoping CNC Software can help me with a machine environment for MT.   At worse case, I can still program it in regular lathe and do the sync codes at the machine.

Craig, shoot me an email and we can talk. I have programmed them in Mastercam and CAMPlete that comes with these machines will be your best friend. If it doesn't then do not sign until it is included in the purchase.

If you have Camplete, no need for the MT package or syncing manually at the machine. Its a very slick setup.

Thanks for the information,
