I used to teach at a couple local mt distributors back in the day. Not so prevalent these days, most shops already have lots of experience in programming now, or even more use cam to do all the programming. The distributors still have application engineers, but they generally spend one day showing a customer the ins and outs of the new machine itself, not so much programming. The rest of there time involves sales calls, time studies, or part run offs for demos. Now teaching cam might be the way to go. |
