hy mr wizard yes, yes, the manuals ... i believe that i have failed to express what i mean, making it hard to understand
when a turret is aligned on z, manuals sais to use a dial, like in attached image: rotate-the-turret + check-with-the-dial until inclination is < 0.03/100eq; this method involves repetition (rotate&check, rotate&check, etc), and after a few tries it will be ok
what i was tring to ask : is there a method to get it (almost always) straight from the 1st try ? how to align a turret much faster, with less efort, compared to the procedure described inside the manual ?
... a machine is not capable of driling as expectedAs far as verifying torque, use your load meters. They represent fully your motor draw for every motor
... c axis is no longer holding the position
... break got loose
* okuma's are great machines, and all these will be fixed soon
by using a torque meter, some problems can be seen at an early stage, and avoid the situation when a machine is no longer capable of running a setup that was ok a while ago / kindly
