OKUMA; OKUMA two-axis lathe APT postprocessor. [CDC CYBER174,175; FORTRAN IV (greater than 99%) and COMPASS (less than 1%)]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6531708
OKUMA is a numerical control postprocessor to support the OKUMA LH50-N dual vertical turret, 2-axis CNC lathe with either an OSP2200L or OSP3000L control unit. The postprocessor converts information from the APT processor into machine tool instructions so that the machine control unit can place 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. The APT CL tape serves as input to the postprocessor. Output from the postprocessor is standard BCD punched cards or a punched mylar tape. Also included as output is a listing of the N/C machine used, delta distances, and the machine coordinate positions generated by the postprocessor.CDC CYBER174,175; FORTRAN IV (greater than 99%) and COMPASS (less than 1%); SCOPE 3.3; 37,000 (octal) words of memory are required..
