Guys,
i'm looking for some software i can use on a PC that will read variables and give me visual feedback so i can check/verify the programs before i load it into the machine. i currently use G & M programming and use XDNCeditor to read the code and can backplot each line of code while verifying each one. we are going to variables to make it easier for the technicians on the floor to edit the programs without forgetting the little things like radii and angles when they need to move a length or diameter. our shop is full of Okuma lathes so thats all i need at this point. i would rather check the programs at my desk and make the adjustments opposed to loading each program in the machine and machine locking it to check every little detail on the floor. any help will be appreciated. here is a little example of a very "rough draft" program to show you what i'm currently looking at. i'm not going to list the entire program.

I'm not sure if Okuma produced ADMAC or if it was from a 3rd party for Okuma. Whatever...it's a true Okuma simulator. It will read everything the Okuma control will read....including tool and graphics info like this:

(ROUGH TURN) VTLIN[1]=1 VTLFN[1]=1 VTLA1[1]=80
VTLA2[1]=3 VTLL[1]=1
(ROUGH TURN) VTLIN[2]=1 VTLFN[2]=1 VTLA1[2]=60
VTLA2[2]=3 VTLL[2]=1
(DRILL) VTLIN[3]=22 VTLFN[3]=1 VTLA1[3]=180
VTLL[3]=4 VTLD[3]=1.063
(FINISH TURN) VTLIN[8]=7 VTLFN[8]=1 VTLA1[8]=35
VTLA2[8]=5 VTLL[8]=1
(O D THREAD) VTLIN[9] = 13 VTLFN[9] = 1 VTLA1[9] = 60
VTLL[9] = 1
(FINISH BORE) VTLIN[11] = 8 VTLFN[11] = 2 VTLA1[11] = 60
VTLA2[11] = 0 VTLL[11] = 3 VTLD[11] = .75

DEF WORK
PS LC,[-50,0],[0,0],0
PS LC,[-22,0],[23,20]
END

I think ADMAC is also a basic CAM system for turning. I never messed with it, but it came with a Captain I used to program.
 
i contacted my Okuma guys to get this software to try. i don't trust these sketchy sites that say they have the program and run you around 8 times just to get you to download a virus. i just loaded the finished program into the machine for now and did it old school. gotta make parts ya know. thanks for your help so far guys!
