love listening to these suggestions and NOBODY HAS HIT IT ON THE HEAD! NOBODY!
take blue prints
go to haas, go to mori seiki, go to hitachi seiki, hell go to everyjuan.
tell them how many widgets you want per hour.
tell them what finish
tell them your tooling allowance bucks.
tell them if you have existing tool holders. sandvik,iscar,mitsubishi,kennametal etc. saves bucks there.
tell them whomever makes MOST PARTS, LEAST CYCLE TIME, BEST FINISH, HIGHEST REPEATABILITY..............
and see who WINS!
watch the SH!! FLY! and chips.
w/new machines comes a tech guy who will program all tool paths x-y-z down to nats ass and make more parts in less time which = more profits.
...................NEXT...........after you have pitted all the machine tool companies against juan another and they all have promised you the moon, and they have literally beat the hell out of themselves trying to beat their competition..........
you then pit all the tooling companies against juan another and they repeat the above mentioned free for all slug fest and beat them selves silly trying to beat cycle times and finishes......................you then.............
pit all the coolant companies against juan another and let them beat them selves silly trying to make more parts, better finishes, less machine downtime, less haz mat to dispose of.
ASK ME HOW I KNOW ALL THIS CRAP!
sandvik
iscar
mitsubishi
komet
kennametal
carboloy...............................survivor of 1980's- 1990's machine tool wars!
i guarantee you after all the above..................somebody better come up with a incredible tool for you to even think of changing tooling, programming,coolants etc.
TRW air bag triggers by the MILLIONS. 304L looks like a threaded mushroom, filled with sodium azide. 36 QC checks. machined domestic and imported 304L and machinability changed every batch. cycle time 1 minute 4 seconds start to finish off of barfeed feed into hitachi seikis.
now do you think i miss that BULLCRAP dog eat dog eats dogs puppies testing regime??????
not in the least!
