I'm setting up a shop at my new job and I'm trying to best arrange a cnc lathe and vmc. They are an ST-35 and a VF3. Space isn't at a premium but these are the only machines we have and I'm the only operator, so it would be worthwhile to make the area as efficient as possible. The lathe is in place and the mill will be delivered Thursday or Friday. I've currently laid them out face to face, especially since the chip auger and conveyor will be on the same end. What kind of space do you all allow between machines to be able to efficiently work between them? There's a chance of having long parts on the lathe and we'll have a jib crane to be able to load parts, so space to swing parts in and out.
I'm definitely overthinking this but just want some guidance. If you have pics, that would be great.
Thanks.
