Those who don't like Okuma simply have no taste in quality machinery.

Not to mention decades of control and hardware support

Quote from: YoDoug on June 09, 2024, 06:43 AMWe have tried two different solutions. The first cell we bought heavy duty sheling racks from Uline and made 1/2" thick waterjet cut tray inserts to locate the pallets. These worked well but the shelf spacing is at fixed increments so it limits the total amount of shelves we can have. For the second cell we designed our own shelves using 8020 extrusion. We use 8020.net a lot. You can DL models into your CAD for design, then order them precut/drilled/etc so all you have to do is assemble.

I've been tinkering with the TopSolid Robot module.... coming soon to a theatre near you :)

Its, uh, very nice :)

No, but creating our own custumizes it to fit our needs. The apps make setup and operation super simple.

I know, HDD's (Dataservers) have only been available since 1996 or so.

LOL @ the Fanuc vs Okuma weirdness. They both have their own weirds, thats for sure, having used both controls a lot.

I recall the Matsuura factory, and the Okuma double columns making their machine components. When asked, the company rep said "we use Okuma because Okuma make the best double column". Got to admit, they certainly do make nice double column machines.
