O'Hare, G A

The OKUMA postprocessor is designed to support the OKUMA LH50-N dual vertical turret, 2-axis CNC lathe with either an OSP2200L or OSP3000L control unit. This program conveys information from the APT processor to the machine control unit and is concerned with placing a tool on a part to develop a desired geometric configuration. The postprocessor deals with machine tool geometry and dynamics as well as the control unit options and input characteristics. Software is available from the National Energy Software Center, Argonne National Laboratory, 8700 South Cass Avenue, Argonne, IL 60439.
