jtdesigns Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I was just surfing around youtube and saw this.. BADA$$ video even if your not a machinist I think you'll like it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comancheman Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 thats incredible! imagine writing that program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkgibbs27 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 writing the program from it ought to be pretty fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 CRAP. Can't get my computer to play it. I'd like to see it since I was a cnc machinist for 13 years. Is it anything like the swiss turning machine I saw at IMTS in Chicago that spun out an ink pen in 33 seconds? It was made of mild cold-roll with a cap that snapped on the end. It threaded together in the middle after they put in an ink tube. I still have it. Nowhere as complex as an engine block, but 33 seconds?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJRockstar Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Nothing that fast! This had to take HOURS to run! Let alone program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere as complex as an engine block, but 33 seconds?! Man its too bad you can't see it, at one point the whole block looks like its just floating in mid air. Not only that, but it automatically changes out stock in like 5 secs. I couldnt imagine writing the program for that.. I'm learning a few CAM programs right now, CNC one which is ok just limited, and ESPRIT and it has alot of bugs, esp when we try to import the program onto our Haas machines.. 5 axis mills are pretty high-speed, but yeah 33 secs is pretty quick.. Thats a hella fast feedrate!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akamcbird Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 :cry: :cry: :cry: even that block can dance better than me... :cry: :cry: :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I didn't have the patience to watch the whole thing, but yeah that is pretty awesome. I can definitly see many advantages to having a non-cast block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a hella fast feedrate!! I was lucky. I started on Mazaks that had conversational programming, then switched to an old Cicinnati mill with G-code. Man did I have to learn quick. I spent most of my time on Integrex 4 axis lathes. They worked fine but anything complex had to be done in manual format which was all g & m-code anyway. I know the newer mills the company bought were running a Windows Fusion setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thrown about a million G/M-codes and was told "What you don't know what a G54 is??" ummmmm, NO! lol I do now though! My uncle knows all about Cincinnati Milacrons he uses them at Freightliner, I never worked with any. We have a pretty good shop at school with Haas, Bridgeport, a old Fedal, and 2 cnc grinders, I think one of those grinders is a seiko?? not sure.. Most of the mills lathes are Haas though. We just got a new Haas lathe with live tooling.. pretty cool to watch,, I can't wait to learn how to make it do what I want it too!! :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
