Need Machining Video

[levelh]

I teach a college course in Mastercam 2D. Since it's a beginning class, a lot of my students have no experience with the concept of CNC. We do not machine in this class and it's very difficult to get across the idea of tooling. Is there any source out there that I could get a video tape of actual CNC machine operations. It wouldn't have to be a tutorial, but just a demonstration of CNC machining a part.

Thanks

LevelH what school do you teach at?

I have some 5axis videos and I know there are a few on the FTP.

 

I will see about getting more.

I put some videos on the FTP a while back that may be useful. I son't remeber the folder cadcam put them in though. If I recall, they were called CARVING or something like that.

levelh,

 

Some tool and machine manufacturers offer "demo" videos of their products that you might be able to use. In the back of American Machinist, they used to have advertisements for their brochures and videos. You would circle the approriate number on the postcard and mail it in. I got a bunch of the videos when I first got in the trade. Sandvik, Haas, Bridgeport EZ Track are a few that come to mind. They were short (10-15 minute) videos that showed their machine or cutting tools in action. Best of all, they were FREE! Does this sound like something you could use?

Or if you work in a shop, you could just make your own.

levelh, if you are in Anahiem, you are one of my customers. Give me a call at (310)429-7095 and I should be able to hook you up with some video. One of our part-time sales people has been doing some stuff along those lines at his school, and I've been kinda sorta looking for a reason to do it where I teach.

 

If you want, I might could make some arrangements for a field trip for your class, too. Or at least put you in touch with some other MasterCAM teachers in your area that have CNC machines avalible. Give me a call and we'll see what we can do.

Have you tried using CAMTASIA - Absolutely brilliant - I'm using it for remote tech support to get a point across.

Make small recordings specific and to the point and you will see the benifit on your first support issue.

 

I could put up an example if anyone is interested.

I've got about 20 videos on CNC machining and programming left over from some of my classes. I have no problem with sending them to someone as long as I get them back in a few weeks.

 

Don't expect me to cover the postage, though....I am a minimum wage sales monkey!

Discovery or the Learning Channel had a show call "Machine Tools". It showed a lot of different types of machines in action.

I would take Rick's offer of a feild trip. "Road trip dude". Nothing better than seeing them run in person. Just stay clear of anything tacoboy may have programmed.
