Good day all
After many hours on the internet I have finally given up on Google, and so I come to you - the practical machinists - for answers.
I work for a medical device company and we do quite a lot of machining - mostly on HAAS machines but also a Hurco and a few turning centres.
We are running out of machines and we have a DMG Mori Milltap 700 available for purchase but no-one knows how to set up the machine.
The machine is a 5-axis DMG Mori MillTap 700 using Siemens 840D sl control. It also has a Renishaw on-machine probe equipped.
For designing we use Siemens NX 6 to 12 along with HAAS postprocessors (they work on the Hurco as well).
My question is this:
1. How do you go from part to CAM to machining? - Postprocessors, Virtual machines etc.
2. How do you set up and use the Renishaw probe?
