New machines and boss wants to know

[Robert Ouellette]

we got a couple of used machines last week and they came online this week. first one is a 1979 devlieg 4k-96 jig mill with a new in 2008 xxxxor 8040 control on it. is there a post available for this control or what would be a good post to start with? also how would you go about programing this thing? the quill is "z" and the table is "w" for what would be the "Z". how would you go about programing for this? i never programmed someting like this before.

other machine is a Rambaudi with an old Heidenhain tnc 150 control. would this control even take g-code from mcam or am i stuck programing at the control? if it can take g-code is there a post or what would be a good starting post to work from? it is just xyz and 4th axis.

if there are posts the boss and i would be very happy, as i nor the boss like standing at the control programming while the machine is stopped. would much rather program and get machine up and running then work on next program.

 

Thanks

Hi Robert,

 

If you send the information on your machines to [email protected] we should be able to help you out. We have dealt with both of these controllers before.
