Hello,
i was wondering if there are other shops that are working with one person who is programming the whole machinery by cam, and operators who just load the pices and tools into the cnc and running the program blind, without further actions like checking program or simulation, just measurement of critical points and maybe tool wear adjustment.
this was our goal at +-7yrs ago and now i can say we come along way but still have issues sometimes. i want to check how far other shops are at automatisation of prototypes. becouse on the long way this is what we want to achieve.
we want to make the best spindle running houres also for small series.
what kind of cam program you use, how do you give info to operators about tools, clamping, etc
