I started as an Apprentice at Newport News Shipbuilding 1982. After completing my apprenticeship , they moved me to night shift in the CNC department setting up and operating machines. They had 10 lathes and 3 mills running on nights with no programmers available. So when there was a problem with a program you were SOL. I started doing my own editing at the machine. The other operators started asking me for my help. So it became almost my main job. My first CAM system wasn't until I started at Zippo, they were using Smartcam, then NC Polaris and now MC.
I've been using System 3R for many years on my EDM's. Their products are high quality but the cost is outrageous. After having an issue with an incorrect order, I feel their customer service is terrible. They sucker you in with their leveling heads then they over price any attachments or replacement parts. So I'm considering switching to something else. One of the brands I'm looking into Ram Precision Tool Inc. . . . Has anyone used their products, recommendations?
I'm having a problem with the program memory being used up on my Cinci. with a Fanuc 18I . My part programs are all cleared out. The dir. screen reads
(memory Char) used 124380, free 1800
(Pro. num) Use 0 , Free 200
. Any suggestions?
I will suggest this to him, but it isn't a 1 time thing. He does this on a regular basis. A long flute reamer would be an easier way to go. I have a .501 reamer with 6" flute, but he wants an oversized 5/8".
