Finding the total hours on an Okuma CNC machine depends on the specific control system it uses. Here are two common approaches and some additional tips:
1. Consult the Okuma Control System Manual:
The most accurate and recommended method is to refer to the Operator's Manual specific to your Okuma CNC machine's control system. These manuals detail how to navigate menus and access various parameters, including machine hours.
Here are some popular Okuma control systems:
- OSP 5000L
- OSP 700L
- OSP CNC OSP-E000 (newer Okumas)
- MacMan (Optional Feature)
The manuals for these systems are usually available for download from the Okuma website or through your local Okuma representative.
2. General Menu Navigation (May Vary):
While specific steps might differ, here's a general approach you can try (consult the manual for confirmation):
- Access the Menu or Function Key: Locate the Menu button or a function key labelled PARAM, SET, or similar on the control panel. Press it to access settings or parameters.
- Navigate to Machine Data or Monitor: Look for menu options related to Machine Data, Monitor, Diagnosis, or similar. Use the arrow keys to navigate through the sub-menus.
- Find Hours Parameters: Within the machine data or monitor section, search for entries related to Operating Hours, Machine Hours, Power On Time, or similar terms. These parameters might be prefixed with a code (e.g., "7000").
Additional Tips:
- The terminology and menu structures can vary depending on the specific Okuma control system and software version.
- Some Okumas, especially older models, might not have an hour meter feature unless it was specifically ordered.
- The MacMan interface (if equipped) might have options for monitoring various machine usage statistics, including total run time.
- If you're unsure about any button presses or menu navigation, consult the manual or seek guidance from a qualified machinist familiar with your Okuma model.
By following these steps and consulting your specific machine's manual, you should be able to locate the total hours on your Okuma CNC machine. Remember, some older Okuma models might not have a built-in hour meter function.
