I haven't heard nuttin'

Ok I do have the folder and rights created I need to test it to make sure is is secure from the other folders.

[Jayson Kramer]

So were are all the 5axis files guys.

hello all. i am in kyle's class and would like to offer a suggestion to all current and future teachers. either a test to get in or a more strict pre-rec than what cpcc has. our class has (in my opinion) about 80% of the students who have no buisiness being in a 5 axis class. i understand that everyone learns at a different pace and in different ways but when you need help to draw a rectangle and change colors you might be in over your head. props to kyle for the patience he has with the class.

[Chris Rizzo]

I hear ya. It's very frustrating for teachers. I've got a computer literacy test for my entry level class, and a mastercam test for advanced classes.

 

With class size requirments and community college funding in the dump it can be hard to turn away paying students (especially if a class is on the brink of not running at all from low enrollment)..however justly so another paying student shouldn't be hamstringed by someone in over his head!

 

I've got a teachers assistant for my entry level classes. Sometimes you can get past students to help out, or others in need of a few bucks. But you are correct an advanced class should not need one.

 

Ok guys I'm back on the wagon and can contribute to the folder on the ftp.

Scott,

We are using our VF3 Haas mills to do 5 axis grinding. some of our wheels are 8" diameter and 6" long. we also mountedr the trunion all the way to the front of the table and had our pst modified to only rotate the part to the back side only. This gives us clearance and never have to worry about hitting something by tilting the wrong direction.

[Jayson Kramer]

So are we going to see more info into the FTP in the trainning folder.

Jay I would be posting my files if I had any that are not already available. I am dead in the water with this 5 axis project as the college still has not called Haas to fix the trunnion servo lag error. Ticks me off because it is a brand new trunninon and it hasn't worked from the start.

Guys putting together 5-Axis classes; Don't forget to spend a fair amount of time going over work-holding, work holding concepts/methods, tabs, where, how, etc... That's one side that I see getting neglected ALOT. Also, teach them how to figure out where Center of Rotation is.

[Chris Rizzo]

Got it Jay!

 

Not sure if people want just multi-axis content, but I'm happy to share all my level 1, 2 and lathe material too. I just added several worksheets and quizzes I'm doing right now in level 1.

Also, teach them how to figure out where Center of Rotation is.

My first lessons in the hands-on portion of the class is going to be on mounting the trunnion, indicating for alignment, and how to determine center of rotation.
