I posted this message on alt machines cnc last week and got only one
reply,so I will try here.Maybe this list has a different bigger
audience.
I am seeking information on the cnc control aspect of a Okuma LSN-10
lathe retrofitted with a Allen Bradley 9/240 control.
This machine was bought at auction 3-5 years ago in Omaha
Nebraska. The sale bill said it had been rebuilt and a A-B
conversational control fitted in 93. And it needed to have the PAL
reinstalled, which they didn't have of course.
The guy that bought it at auction said that it had the monitor
turned on, mabe a dro on screen but he didn't remember for sure.
He carefully skidded it ,electrical panel and hydrulic unit and
machine together without disconnecting any hoses or wires. But wired
up in his shop, it wouldn't light up, zip nothing. And it set there
ever since. So he has a big gear shaper coming in next week and needs
the floor space.
For the okuma AB control, Does any one know where I could get the
executive disks/tapes/PAL? Or comments in general about this model
lathe or AB 9/240 control on a lathe.
So far a call to Infinity Rebuild in N Carolina who are afilliated
with Okuma, they said they never put AB controls on okuma lathes, so
they didn't do it.
PS, This is really weird, do a search for +"okuma LSN-10" +omaha
and you get the auction sale bill from over 3 years ago!
Thanks, Larry Reiss Omaha Nebraska.

Good chance your control is a boat anchor. Even if you got it started,
maintenance would most likely be impossible. Is the machine worth the time
($) to put a new retrofit control on it?
