@@user-ie2sw7vz5r in case others are interested: QM Height/Setting Center of hole as Zero(datum) Press: Zero/ABS Button, set surface plate as Zero. Press: Inside Diameter Button and measure hole. *Displayed results will show Diameter(Zd) and Position from Zero(Zp). *Note the (Zp) number. Move the probe to this position using the Fine Adjustment knob. *Press: Zero/ABS Button, then the Enter button. The part Zero is now set to the center of the hole position and measurements will be taken from there.
What about Manor, Texas? We have one in our shop and would be awesome to get a few pointers on how to properly operate this height gage. I mean I can get by on it but woukd like to use its full potential. USA
Hey Sergio, just saw this comment now. Have you had any luck reaching out to your local rep? Here in western Canada, Troy, the man in the video is our rep and he does all kinds of training to help our customers out.
IF you need a CNC Lathe with Milling capabilities this would be a way better choice than the standard Live Tools we are familiar with. Live Tools are ok for light cutting in materials like Aluminium and Plastics, but that is about their limit. Can cut Steel but at the cost of endless rebuilds or replacement ???? Another Plus with this machine is you have 100 mm of +/- Y axis travel compared to around 50 mm of +/- with Live Tools.
claudia33 that would have worked better going from the inside and out with that tool. It gets to big radial engagement when the surface is almost vertical. Or with a different toolholder with a bit more angled insert.
You can make any part in either a CNC or Manual machine. The difference is time. I know which machine I would choose if I needed to make 100 of any part 🤔😁
At 1:15 : the deep cut is just like 1mm (and is in the center) this thing cant take big cuts u dont need this hyper expensive shit machine to make those simple turning jobs (at 1 mm cuts) wtf
Wing Wu I think it's more for the show to let people see that this machine can run both spindles synchronized which helps a lot when machining big parts + you can eject the leftover chips away from the jaws clamping area I think :P
+Wing Wu It's all about cycle time reduction. Instead of waiting for the main spindle to come to a complete stop, transfer the part and then speed the sub spindle up. You can immediately go into machining on the sub spindle if you wanted. You don't see it as much since this is a demo, but when you're in production it can make big difference.
Maybe you haven't gotten a response in two years because its a trade secret I'm interested my self look's like some sort of hone to produce a brilliant finish or a brush cover to hide the tool there using.
I've never used okouma before been an applications engineer for years currently @ WFL i can PROGRAMME with Siemens fanuc heidenhien and Mazak but every one I talk say okouma are one of the best and really user friendly would love to have a go on one of their machines with their own control panel just to see for myself hint hint to any okouma dealer in the UK
i am a okuma operator i can tell you that's not very true Okumas are probably the best machines the ones from japan and the old ones made in NC USA but their controls lack SOPHISTICATION
Good video! I am buying a UMC. We work with a variety of stainless and alloy steels. I would like to hear about experiences. Does the machine have a high quality? Rigidity? Accurate? Is it possible to get more videos?
Not good for super alloys, powder metal tool steel and nickle based stainless steel. I'm working on a UMC750, you can feel the tool got pushed away by the material even on 4140HT, the spindle is not rigid enough. For aluminum and mild steel it's fine.
For the treatment of solid steel must take Okuma! I do not work but was on display where the consultant told me that Okuma is very good at treating such steels!
