Nicely put. You should have been a technical writer, instead of a prorammer.

put,
What do you need help with? I was born Fanuc, and after almost 10 years of nothing else, I came to OSP land. I have been on OSP controls for over 7 years now, and you can do some pretty cool things, just have to think a little different. I would be more than happy to help, if I can.

Well said slave... I'll be willing to help as well.

Oh, and by the way... Take the mans money do the mans job... don't B*tch about it, just learn it. You might find this site useful as you're working your way through the transition: http://www.countyhistory.com/rbcreat...perations.html

Good Luck,

Hey PUT,
So you think you are so hot with all the other machine tool controllers?
Well guess what? There are a lot of people around that would be only too glad to help with genuine questions and civil statements!
The Okuma system is actually a very friendly system and is also very powerful to boot!
So you don't have a manual to hand, well why don't you ask a civil question and you might get a surprise with the help you can get!
Go on... ask away.
Brian.

Hey jarwalcot, I checked out that site. Wish I could come up with that kind of info for an Ocuma with Fanuc(18T) controls.

ok i might have been a little harsh, after a few days its not that bad, i was a little peved and scared of crashing. osp do have some nice stuff (mdi)g56h1 and gives distance from 0, omit on bolt holes are nice but h for tool hight and work offset wow, and once again sorry so uncivil just peved and yeh i am smoken on most fanuc based machines but osp might make me faster
peace out

all rite broby on a pmilr on a bolt circle i have to give it a coordnate for every hole on a 16 holes (.mazak one dim for hole size # of holes ).fanuc osp xy(rij) for each hole

[broby]

are you trying to mill a series of pockets located on a BHC pattern?
Personally have never tried to do it this way. But always willing to learn different ways of programming something such as this.
Mind you, just reading up the manual for PMILR, seems to indicate it will mill a pocket aligned with XY, not rotated... if you know how to make this a rotated pocket, I would be most impressed! Can you post a copy of the section of program you are looking at and I will have a look for you.

put,
Do you want pocket milling (PMILR) or to put in a bolt hole circle(BHC)?
