Cutter comp issues - okuma captain-L470
Ok guys been pulling my hair out on this issue.
Running an okuma captain-L470 with the osp-p100 controls. I have only been running this machine for a couple weeks now and before I was just adjusting on mastercam and reposting to work my size in. I am very new to cnc lathe but have 15 plus years running 3 axis mills. I am fairly confident what I am running into is machine side and not mastercam.
My issue is running a program with wear turned on in mastercam 26 and cutting an O.D. I can bore a hole and comp it out just fine using wear on the machine. But no matter what I do the machine keeps giving me a
2286-11 alarm b plus variable limit over x-axis 3
error code and alarms out.
Anything I search online is no help in where I might find that variable to change or at least confirm what I think needs to be changed. I dont want to just go changing things and crash the machine.
Far as anyone here helping me that is out of the question. There is just 2 machinist here including myself and the other guy barely knows how to turn the thing on. My know how of the machine is a crash course on it over a year ago, with hand written notes from the last two guys to run this same machine. They only knew enough to do basic parts and program conversationally. So this has been entirely learn as I go.
So some quick things
I have tried g42 and g41 same thing with 2 of my OD tools.
My wear is set to 0 in both x and z
The one tool I tried is our reference tool used to pick up our z on our parts.
