how many machines do you program

[Bruce Caulley]

7 5 axis machines

7 verticals

about 15 horizontals

5 lathes.

 

3 1/2 programmers ( I'm the 1/2)

 

Bruce

[Putzalutz]

(1) Nakamura-Tome SC350 (I think...)

(1) NEF 710 Gildemeister (the dinosaur of Lathes)

(1) Haas VF6 with 4th Axis

[biss03]

approximately 30 haas verticals ranging from VF-1 to VF-4's with 4th axis, 7 Mori Seiki horizontals, and 8 Mori Seiki lathes (that i'm just getting into programming). I also program 3 Brown and Sharpe CMM's of varying size. i have a couple of guys on the floor i trust with helping at the machine.

 

keep in mind that we are a production machine shop that tries to run high quantity parts so once the programs are written and proven to be good i'm pretty much hands off unless they need help with something.

[Eric S.]

1 Haas VF3 with pallet changer

1 Haas VF2 with 4th axis

 

And hopefully in the next couple of months I can talk the boss into buying a Haas EC 400 horizontal mill.
