Attention- read this text!!!
Here Im trying to show how to prepare workpiece and tool lenght offsets on OSP-5000M-G CNC system. A one should already be familiar with machine control elements (basic menus, knobs and so on) to prepare all steps that are shown in this video. Please note- this is my way how I do this, there could be better methods. For me it works flawlessly. Machine is from 1984- newer OKUMA OSP software versions could have more options available. Attention should be kept on G-code preparing- at the beginning there should be code line with G15 Hxx, where Hxx is workpiece offset number we are working with. After toolchange line Txx M6, You should place code line G56 Hxx Dxx (NOT (!!!) G54 like I told in video- sorry my mistake), where Hxx and Dxx are tool lenght and diameter offset callout numbers.
We had an Mc4 at my work as a young machinist, it was a good machine.
I use to operate it sometimes.
That and our LC20 st lathe was the first cnc machines I came across. It had those paper hole bands for programs. What memories. No probes at that times. Nice to see the machine again!
OKUMA is sure a good machine (from mechanical sight of view) except its electronics. I really like some of it's functions, but nowadays that CNC system is obsolete. Program memory amount is extremely small for programs generated in CAD/CAM software, servo drives are unreliable due to age, not to mention bubble memory or even CMOS memory (batteries goes bad very fast), SVP or processor boards. Thats why Im planning of removing all old electronic, servo drives and motors and perform a retrofit (I think it will be LinuxCNC as Im familiar with this system). Modern problems require modern solutions.
@@guntiskolcs3689 Yes, the years has it´s turns on them. Yes, i remember if i had to load a new program, i had to remove some others to make way. One other thing that has improved is the removable cooling tanks, before they where in the bottom of the chassie. It was a job for a whole day to clean them out and find all the corners inside.
Yes, maybe your machine will work better with your mods.
I wish you good luck!
Hello! I have an Okuma MC 4VA that has lost its software and data. Can you give me the data? Thank you.
Hi! Software and data are written on 8'' floppy disks (Your machine should have a floppy reader and FDC board installed), and as far as I know data could be specially prepared for a specific machine. Im doing machine retrofit now (setting up a new CNC system), but I still have all floppies for MC-4VA.
Thanks 😘
Really hope it could solve Your problems with tool and workpiece settings. If any- ask, will try to help. :)
How to subprogram
I don't use subprograms and have no experience with these, only G-codes with program size available to use on my machine, therefore I can't help You on this topic.
