Hi everyone,

   I'm trying to create a table for the ISO GROUP, is anybody can help me to tell me where to start?  Here is what I think I would do:

 

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Material ISO Group
smaterialisogroup0    : ""      #XY plane code 
smaterialisogroup1    : "P-General Steel"      #YZ plane code 
smaterialisogroup2    : "M - Stainless and Cast Steel"      #XZ plane code
smaterialisogroup3    : "Cast Iron"      #XZ plane code 
smaterialisogroup4    : "N - Aluminum, Copper and Non-Metalic"      #XZ plane code 
smaterialisogroup5    : "High Temperature and Super Alloy"      #XZ plane code 
smaterialisogroup6    : " H - Harden Steel And Cast Iron"      #XZ plane code 
smaterialisogroup      : ""         #Target string
 
fstrsel smaterialisogroup0 smaterialisogroup_type smaterialisogroup 8 -1
 
 
 
#-----------------------------------------
fmt     2 smaterialisogroup_type
 
#--------------------------------------------
pheader$         #Call before start of file  
      scomm_str, "Material ISO Group= ", smaterialisogroup, scomm_end, e$

Do a search for Rev Numbers. I did it like you are doing. It is a detailed posting.

I believe if we have a great post, the communication between the setup man and programmer is much more smoother.

Sorry, but you are looking at it all wrong. That is the job of the Setup sheet and the tool list. The code needs to go to the machine and make the part. The Setup sheet and the Tool List are the means in which every other shop uses to communicate valuable and needed information to the setup person and to the operator.

 

Again I think you keep chasing a red herein.

I agree with this. Kill a tree for your setup sheets and the post doesn't need anything more than the comment on each op. Also keep that as simple as possible.

 

My comments will often read like "rough near left side" or "rough +Y 9deg face". The only time I put extra in the prog is when there is a need to sneak up on a really tight tolerance or a surfa e finish that needs eXtra attention. And then I'll put a M0 and an "alarm" that has to be cleared before the operator can proceed. Rememver, CYA. But that's rare.

 

Short and sweet in the prog.

At my company, we have a BIG ISSUE that operator won't read anything if there is a hard copy just simply they are HARD HEADED.  Therefore, we try to input into G-CODES so they read right there at the control.

There is an easy fix for this.. first guy that refuses to follow established procedure gets 2 days off unpaid to think about it..  2nd guy to do it gets someone to help him bring his toolbox out to his vehicle..

 

Hardheaded problems go away quickly this way.  I have worked in places where things were easy going and in places where rules were enforced. . in my opinion its better to have a clear set of procedures that everyone follows than have people choosing which things they could listen to or not..

 

Anyhow.. rant over I guess..

Hi Mathew,

   In our company, we have many MAFIAs.  MEXICAN MAFIA, ASIAN MAFIA, EUROPEAN MAFIA and even in the sale department as WHITE MEN MAFIA.  It's easy to say and it's very hard to do.  

 

    If you are being in my foot, I don't think you want to be and... If you have to, you will feel how painful it is. 

 

Here if you fail to follow instructions and make a bad part it's on you.

hahaha... They are senior setup-men.  Since the market is going up, it's hard to find good people and the owner knows that too, although he doesn't like the current situation is.

 

Saying is easy, wait until you are the owner of a medium or big size of company and you will realize that.

 

 

Easy fix, Read and follow the instructions or LEAVE
