so does it have IGF?

I know there is an aplications engineer from okuma he is in the mid west and he had a post for the LU and LT I am not sure how he got the P codes working but I know he did I will try and dig up his name tonight and maybe he can help you on this issue

hey if you say gview = cplane on your created views does it look right to you? maybe you created the view wrong.

how did you create your views?

If this is a vertical just set your WCS to top then your c/t plane to front, back, saved which ever you want just like John said then it will give you the rotation

I know a shop in washington that runs 3 cnc mills and 2 cnc lathes mazaks and cincinatis he uses a dual rotary system that some electrical engineer buddy of his designed it works amazingly well.

Ron do you have one touch on your okuma?

make a new machine group in your op manager, copy ops from horizontal "you will need to add ops for side work, amke a new wcs relative to the vertical or horizontal, change your c/t planes regen and post

yeah you can create surfaces from solids it is the white rubix cube icon

a 10,000 rpm spindle should last a couple years with day and night shift running even with not so unbalanced tools. A chiller and air oil lubrication would be the best bet but I think they are probably just greased spindles. Generally the builder does not build there own spindles they come from places like setco. I would try to find a quality cnc repair place and have them rebuild your spindle.

do you have your post set to a vertical configuration?

in house solutions will get it done for you they are great guys and do top notch posts

Why dont you just change you parameters in the control and use H1 D1

I am asuming you do not have the 2 column offsets on

how do you hae your wcs c and t planes set up?

I agree with Ron the wcs top and c and t planes to handle the rotations is the way to go, verification is easier and I have never had a problem or a multi edit issue.

Solid works!

I have only used solid works, Catia V4 and V5 and yes V5 is an improvement, pro e.

Solid works is the most user friendly fast to learn and teach, many healing options in my opinion it is the top dog.

I have to wonder if it is even a legal copy of mastercam

3d scanner +100% it isnt that expensive and you will not have to machine it

selway has the toyoda line and matsurra I think at universal we did have some support issues with matsurra.

makino we had a brand new cell there you might want to take a look great cell controler and machine

duramill as good or better quality but cheaper price

the komo was sweet except cabmaxx but they are not wide enough in Y I need 64 min

Bruce those JOBS are sweet

man you guys are great I am going through all these right now on the web. thermwood is to light I think our quintax are in the same boat single sided 5ax head support is to delicate.

sorry about that 64 x 116 minimum, +/- .002

would like fanuc or similar gcode control

we are evaluating which way to head, we either need a top quality router or inexspenive brige type machine. please list your suggestions

I am with James the other thing I consider is the offsets for front right and left to help translation B0 face is P1 right P2 left P3 then add 10 on translation op that way the operators always know P1 And P11 are front P2 and P12 etc you guys get it

then if they load the part on B90 they just add that to the offsets

Tim is right on with the autocalc on rotation ours is m300

but I try to program from center rotation all the time unless it is a messed up casting with tooling jacks.

sketch support was what I was looking for

worked perfect you can pick new view and reverse h and v

thanks guys!
