Donnie, you and all your compatriots are awesome! You make me want to go back to work. Unretire and learn new things that I never thought you could do. It looks like a great time to be in machining.
is that double angle something able to do internal skiving. edit: oh, and its great to see, that machines can not only machine parallel on multiple spindles, but also with multiple tools on a single spindle. that looks almost as sophisticated as 4 KUKA robots welding at the same time on one car body
As a Fanuc custom macros fanatic :D I have huge respect for the people who coded the G-Code itself and those who can invent and code these functions to these postprocessors! That's an incredibly high level of mathematics and coding ! There is a reason why these machine are so pricey but honestly we need more open-source stuff like LinuxCNC
Honestly what humans have figured out really impresses me. Every piece of technology you see in this video came from the ground. All the programming I do is honestly the easy part
@@donniehinske Donnie it's not easy, :D when I see those macros on Tornos, my head spins :D ! But I also love macros, I've read all possible books and we try to use them at work, especially in connection with probing from Renishaw. I'm a big fan of yours Donnie and you and the Titans have done an incredible job for the CNC community ! Thanks man :)
QUESTION. Can you Ratio the feedrate on the C-Axis? Often I find myself wanting to slowdown or speed up the Feedrate on rotary moves but they're often in the thousands of IPM. Is there a G/M code that can change those feed rates (to 50% for example) so it doesn't affect the rest of the program? I hate having to repost the program when all I want to do is make a minor change.
Really cool watch. Ty for sharing. I know it's a bit niche but could you guys maybe do a video on things like local machine shops that rent machines for learning? Or something like maker spaces where you can learn with other makers. Perhaps something in the tiny hobby machines like carvera? I'd be down for a balls to the wall carvera test with titanium clad inconel dipped in tungsten.
what a production monster. was at AMB and there they had the deco, tiny multiswiss, nano and so on. it's so crazy what these machines can do while being super tiny. l don't think you can get any for dollar/squarefoot on a manufactuing floor.
Owner at my last job basically let me pick out our new Swiss. Was capable of a lot of this. But he wouldn’t buy me the programming software. I can’t hand type this kind of stuff 😂 . Just visited his shop after 6 years. Still doesn’t have software. Missing out on so many parts. Think about going back in a couple of years and showing him what they could be doing. Or possibly joining your team.
He was the coolest boss I had ever experienced and literally paid 10K to have me trained on Swiss as I was a 10 year old veteran on CNC mills. Taught me lathes in general but manual lathe and some manual milling techniques which I should have known before learning cnc. Just backwards in my mind.
