I am fairly competent at drawing(creating) parts, nesting parts and even taught others, including division supervisors, laser operation for about 10 yrs. using Bystronic lasers and software (& some AutoCad). It offered me a lot of control in everything from part development through the actual part cutting.
The division of the company consolidated everything to their Houston area shops and it has taken a while to find a new laser job in the Midwest. But I now need to learn Mitsubishi lasers from an operator who has no desire to teach anyone anything. I think he resents his job/company and everthing else in his life. I have just started, however, other than general laser principles (which must be similar) I can see very little in common so far between the two lasers, and I see much, much less control over anything!!
Are the G codes or M codes similar. I'm afraid this idiot will quit before even having me attempt to load a program from a disk & pick parameters, etc. Where can I find Mitsubishi operational information in case I have to figure it out on my own. I used to create parts as quick & accurate as our engineers.
Now, I feel like a bigger idiot than the one "training" me, who needs to leave.
Are these lasers any good..I've heard they were, but maybe they are only good for what they cost( or maybe they cost more, I'm clueless and desperate). My Byspeed was around $690K in 2002. There have to be some excellent operators out there who would help a lost soul.
I'll take any advice right about now, even if it's wrong it might help me to think more clearly in understanding this laser. Please somebody try to answer my prayers I'm begging you. I know there are a lot of good people out there somewhere. This company hired 3 of my co-workers as well as me, so if I can see the light, it will be a homecoming of sorts
Thank you in advance for even considering having some mercy on me and my request. It is so very sincerely appreciated, almost lifesaving. I realize your time is valuable, so I really hate to ask but my family needs me to succeed.
