Okuma OSP200L, Genos Lathe, milling a circular pocket in soft jaws with an axial live tool

[doug925]

I am using an axial, 3/8" em, and want to mill a Ø.672" pocket @ X0.0, in my soft jaws about 0.02" deep.
(as a test)
Any help will be appreciated!
Non working program follows:
G00 X20. Z20.
T0909 (3/8 4FL AXIAL M TOOL)
M110
M146 M15
G94
SB=3000 M13
G00 Z.1 X.297 (math= Ø.672-.375 = .297 [correct?] )
C0.0
G101 Z-.02 F5.
G102 C0. L0.297 (??)
G01 Z.1 F50.
G00 Z1.
M09
M12
M109
G00 X20. Z20.
M30
What am I doing wrong? It must be the L in the G102....I think....


Simple ask, but since it is OKUMA there is NO information on programming (that is actually worth a shit!) ANYWHERE on the web, and no help line for immediate application problems.

Thanks all,

Doug.

NM, I figured it out.
...
g00 z.1 x.3
g101 z-0.02 f5.
G103 C180. L.15
G103 C0. L.15
.....

Thanks anyways!

Hmmm, what made it change to G103? Technically it should've been L.1485 correct? I hate Okuma and their nuances about everything, specially program restart.

What are you talking about? It couldn't possibly be any easier.
The OSP control is light years ahead of Fanuc in almost every way imaginable.

He's just looking up old Okuma/OSP posts and spamming them saying how much of a pain OSP is.

Uh, not spamming nor do I have time to waste here. You are both obviously fanboys of the PIA the OSP300 control is. With all it's advantages, which I don't deny, program restart for one has some stupid set of rules that are dumber than me. If Y is being used, then it must be already turned ON, if C is used, the same. If neither is used, you guessed it, both OFF. Except if you are at an NT/tool change line, then OFF is OK. This pisses me off and doesn't make sense, why have me put the machine in such a specific state, when the M-codes in the program already turn ON/OFF what is needed? Don't even get me started on G20HP=4, which almost always alarms and I wind up running G206 or manually returning the head home! Ugh...
