I think it's not possible since NCPlot is designed to be used with Fanuc controllers...

Is the okuma machine using a propritary controller or a fanuc one?

Since G-Codes are not a true standard they vary to controllers to controllers.
Same as M-Codes which vary fabricant to fabricant (Ex: Amada mcodes and mitsubishi mcodes are not the same and may pose problem when converting a program)


anyway just my 2 cents, maybe i'm wrong ... i'm a guy that work with laser not milling hehe

Hi,

Currently, NCPlot cannot be set up to run Okuma programs. The problem is that NCPlot does not recognize the mnemonic codes used by Okuma. Also, the way that variables are used is much different than Fanuc. To handle this would probably mean building an Okuma specific version of NCPlot.

Thanks,
Scott
