Sergey - thanks! Very helpful

I am looking to do the same thing on our new Okuma L3000.

Were you successful? What was involved?

Thanks

WE have a new AgieCharmilles Cut30 machine. It come with a native CAM package that is limited and requires lots of setup time especially if you wish to to lights off overnight work. We do only 2D...

We use SolidCAM for milling but are considering it for wire EDM work as well. They have a "DCAM" package for EDM operations but it's a pricey option. Does anyone have any experience using this...

Installed our M460-VE last month and it is rock solid awesome. It replaced a Haas VF2SS and we can now make up to 10x the depth of cuts. Also it's really quiet -- no scales option but the accuracy is...

Does anyone have a SolidCAM post processor for an Okuma MB46VAE vertical mill? Thanks!

You're right -- but we're trying to check perpendicularity on a deep profile cut while the work piece is still in the machine to save back and forth time to the CMM.

Just wanted to see if anyone...

Hi guys,

Do any of you run Renishaw's OMV (on machine verification) software on an Okuma mill?

We got a M460-VE on order with the 200 control and are thinking about using feature with the probe...

Glacem,

Many thanks for your ideas. I am going to try the Verimill cutter and an accurate milling chuck.

As for feeds and speeds, I have tried everything but my best results were using a 0.5"...

I am machining a vertical surface 2" tall that follows a gradual spline profile using a Haas VF2SS vertical CNC mill and looking for the best possible finish. The material is 4340 annealed. I have...

Also a good idea - thanks WOLOG

Geof -- many thanks

This might work. I must extent the tool so that only two of the three screws can secure it. I will look for some long tools but I think this will work.

At this point I would use a live center if I could find one with lots of reach.

I call my Haas service center and they didn't have an answer. They are getting sales involved. My guess is they...

We have a new TL-1 with the auto turret and manual tailstock. We are turning some long small parts 0.5" in diameter and need to use a dead center on the tailstock. The problem is we can't find one...

Points well taken -- Haas needs better start up capabilities. Perhaps sensors to prevent crashes while allowing for a fast and automated start up.

Perhaps: Zero X, move to zero Z (sensor for...

Geof -- you're the man! Worked perfectly.

:wave:

We just installed a new Haas TL-1. They have changed the power up / restart procedure requiring you to manually home each axis and the tool turret after power-up. For the life of me, I can not find...
