As most of you know, I have been totally self-employed in training CNC shops for many, many years, since 1983 actually
I have asked this before, but is there anyone anywhere that has done this, or am I the only one?
Adventure in CNC: My favorite was training Crown Control, a manufacturer of lifttrucks in New Bremen, Ohio.
I worked between Christmas and New Year and was concerned about finding a motel for me and my whole family that came along.
The people at Crown told me: Do not worry, we have a nice place for you.
When we got there, they gave us the key to a building and directions.
It turned out to be a totally renovated farm building, with many rooms, a kitchen with a fridge full of goodies, like steaks, champaign, beer, great selections of all kinds of food, it was unbelievable.
We had a special TV room with all kinds of movies on 2 hour tapes, a seperate bar with you name it, it was great, the height of luxury.
A company in Corpus Cristi: They built large oilfield motors of 3000+ HP
on a large CNC lathe, they used to repair them and this was their first effort of building them from scratch, so they had no CNC experience at all. It was a 1 week training session and worked out well, I went back later when they bought their first machining center to do all the mill work on the motors.
Our room at the local Omni Hotel overlooked the Gulf of Mexico, it was beautiful as you can imagine.
By the way, the pictures of the motor and machines are on my website:
