Production support

Summary:

This would be a production support for operators and Programmers how to run a WFL Millturn in full auto mode. This will speed up the production in the first month after installation the machine.

Topics:

a) Basic knowledge in programming and mathematic

b) Edit programs

c) solve problems with tools and the machine

d) Check parameters in the program and in the machine

e) double-check the measurements and calculations done automatically in the Program

f) double-check all positions in the program with the drawing except simulated CAM-Tool path and repeated subroutines

g) check the tools and the program for internal and external coolant

h) help to plan new jobs for the machine

i) check the cycle time and help to optimize the programs

j) support the programmer on sequence planning and programming

Objective:

With this support the Operators and Programmers get help to ensure everything gets right after installation of the machine. Most problems are solved quickly because they will always get the right answer.

Participants:

Programmer and Operators which are looking for more knowledge about operating and programming this machine.

Duration:

Up to 6 weeks

Programming support

Summary:

I will offer a program for a new work piece including a test on the machine

Topics:

a) Plan the operating sequence

b) Create a Tool List

c) Make a program

d) Check and run the program in the machine

e) Optimize the program

f) Train the operators on this workspace

Objective:

In the suggested way it will be guaranteed for functionality.

Note:

I do not guarantee if your machine brakes down or your tools do not work. Also I do not guarantee for Operator errors.

Duration:

Duration and Price on request with an actual work piece.

Support to prove out a new work piece

Summary:

In this case I will help the Operator doing prove out at the machine for a new work piece which is programmed by your Programmer.

Topics:

a) Check and run the program in the machine

b) Optimize the program

c) Train the operators on this workspace

Objective:

In the suggested way your programmer will get a good feedback about his program.

Note:

I do not guarantee if your machine brakes down or your tools do not work. Also I do not guarantee for Operator errors.

Duration:

Duration and Price on request with an actual work piece.

Support to optimize your work piece

Summary:

In this case I will analyse and optimize your work piece which is already in production at your machine.

Topics:

a) Check and analyse an actual running production part

b) Optimize tools and sequence

c) Optimize the program

d) Support the operator to test the new program at the machine

e) Train the operators on the new tools and sequence

Objective:

In general you will save tool costs and between 10 and 20 percent machining time.

Note:

I do not guarantee if your machine brakes down or your tools do not work. Also I do not guarantee for Operator errors.

Duration:

Duration and Price on request with an actual work piece.

Support with special cycles

EC_HOME

This cycle brings the tool to a safe tool change position. It will also record cutting data from the actual tool.

EC_PMCLEAR

This cycle will clear and over write all User – parameters which are used on the previous program. So it will not possible that you reed values in parameters or offsets from a previous part.

EC_TLCHECK

This cycle will compare the actual tool length with a minimum and maximum length. It will not be possible to crash the machine because the tool length was changed.

I can also provide custom made cycles for your special needs.
