MILLTURN FANUC 31i-B MANUAL PROGRAMMING.
Machine Tool Bulider Concurrent Engineering
- With assistance from your MACHINE TOOL BUILDER, recommend manually program a core product in one operation currently performed in multiple operations on 2-axis lathes and 3 axis mills.
- Use your proven existing tooling and machining parameters in Fanuc, Mazak, Okuma, Haas, etc... controls programmed in EIA / ISO industry standard.
Core Products Carry Over
- Use the proved out manual program baseline part as a template and copy and edit it to create additional core product part programs that meet the machine's constraints.
No Additional CAD/CAM Investment
- No need for a $10K to $35K high end CAM System or special computer hardware or the experienced skilled labor for off-line programming.
ADVANCED MANUFACTURING engineering quantitative methods
CNC Machine Tool Capital Expenditure Justification
- Heavy machining Industry compressor split halved cases & barrels.
- Sr. Mfg. Engineer Advanced Mfg Engineering project 55.0MM 3 years modernization program.$5.0MM traveling table bridge project (Ingersoll Masterhead).
- Case bay existing machine utilization analysis: traveling column and table planer mills, floor and table boring mills, radial drill presses, line bar boring equipment, and vertical table lathes.
- 3 observations per shift 2 shifts 5 days a week 6 weeks.
- 180 observations ±3 sigma 99.73% confidence level.
Quantitative Methods
"Without data you're just another person with an opinion", W.Edwards Deming, Data Scientist.
Eliminate forgings & castings. reduce inventorY, lead time & lot size. build to market demand.
pre-1985 mill 3-axis hydraulic & ELECTRo-mechanical tracers
Aircraft Hydraulic Actuators
- Contour mill simple or complex geometric shape parts with flat, round and irregular surface forms.
- Machine blanks from certified billets and commercial grade materials, holding the typical +/-0.015 tolerances for defense and commercial industries.
- Use simple low end 3-axis simultaneously contour milling software.
- Use older, worn, less accurate machining centers for blanking.
- Design & build custom work holding fixtures with work-in-progress diamond/dowel service areas in 2 or 3 manual index positions or in all 4 quadrants if necessary.
- Bench work the indexed areas like blending flashing while cycling machines semi-unattended.
- Machine off service areas and complete machining process.
