Gotta watch those videos, Insanely fast CNC

Hey guys,

watch those videos, it's really awesome in perticular if your not used to seeing real CNCs in action;

Try the pawn cutting and the thread cutting on lathe,
speed is incredible.

Video's are really worth watching. Brings back some memories of CNC troubleshooting and field service for me.

It is really facinating to watch the machines work. Even harder to troubleshoot and repair especially when the problem is wear in the machine.

Check this machine out:

I've seen the video 10 times, and it still blows my mind. I'm a machinist in the aerospace industry and I thought that I've seen and done some cool things until this came along!

Sometimes we forget just how fast "real CNC" is.
THe mills and lathes at my work are getting 1500IPM. How nice it would be to have that on my router!
Of course, I would need to borrow those 4HP servos

How the hell do you program that thing!?!

[Bowman]

Very Carefully!

You'll either get fired or take a beating (or both)

heck he would probably buy you some new shoes of the concrete varity and kill you dump the body.

Well, I've been able to figure out two things.

I would not want to have the job of programming the machine OR being the FIELD SERVICE tech. It would most likely require several networked computers or PLC's to perform all the functions. Probably a computer on each axis.

We have one of those at work. To answer your question. Yes Bowman, Very carefully

There is a three column program stack for three axes. They are independantly working together at the same time.

Way cool. Will be great in about 15 years when I can buy one of these on ebay for my garage (you can plug it into a normal household power right
