API documentation for Okuma control


So far I've learned that the controllers (NCs) on Okuma machine tools are windows based and that anyone can write programs that interface with the machine though what is known as the "THINC_API". Where can I find documentation on this API publicly available?


Solution

  • It should be installed along with the API. Look in the start menu under

    Start | Programs | Okuma | THINC-API
