Osp 700m retrofit

[dmws]

Has anyone tried to change the Osp 700m to a pc based control, I would like
to keep the drives and motors so does anyone have any ideas on this.

[Algirdas]

as far I communicated with soviet CNC engineers, Okuma is impossible at this point of view. Okuma single source philosophy leads to difficulties using Okuma with other control.

Your reply confirms what I am begining to find out,

okuma has a pc based control now (Thinc P200). is the machine worth having okuma retrofit it? what model?

[OkumaWiz]

Infinity rebuild will retrofit a PC control (thiNC - P200) to your machine, but as said before, is the machine worth converting? This would require changing out drives, motors, etc. = high $$ - Why do you want a PC? If you are just after networking, Okuma can add Ethernet to the machine and add it to your PC network.

[Algirdas]

Maybe it's worth to ask Okuma for retrofit with P200.
Suppose, motor drives and motors and all periphery will work with minor change. But the costs ...
I believe, the task (wish) must be divided into smaller. Why do You want to have PC based control for the machine?
