Okuma LB15 with OSP5000L-G control with IGF
I finally got in a manual a few days ago (thanks metalmuncher!) that goes into great detail pretty much about everything, however, no where can I find where you enter in a program at the control other than putting in info via MDI.
Do I just MDI the program in and then save it some how to memory? Well yeah, duh.....but I can't for the life of me see where to save it into the memory.
The machine has an RS232 but there is not one mention of it in the manual or how to access it or download programs into the control.
I just got in some jaws yesterday for the chuck (finally!!....not too sure if I'll use workholding.com again! ) and have the machine all tooled up and ready to make some chips, but the learning curve is STEEP!
Well, at least for me it is anyways. Still kicking myself for not buying a Fanuc machine..........
Heinz, why don't you have any Okuma DVD's!?!?!?
Why do I do this to myself!! I hate not knowing what to do or what buttons to push.....and most of all, I hate trying to decipher the manuals to do it!!
Anilam, Yasnac, Fanuc, Haas.......and now Okuma! I think I need my friggin head examined.......
If there is anyone local who has experience on this machine or control, I will GLADLY pay you CASH for your time to come in and give me a crash course (probably could have worded that different) on this machine.
Any and all advice on loading a program at the control, either by hand or via the RS232 would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe it's just me.....most likely is.....but this control seems to be sooooo overly complicated, I could just scream!!
Later,
Russ
