I'm done with these Russian truckers. Idiots are five hours late (luckily the riggers' other appointment ran into the same problem and they didn't have to leave) and then while the riggers are placing the machine, one walks up to me and asks "can fork lift ballet wait until truck empty? Can you get other things off truck?" while the other guy is rummaging through our scrap bins. Unbelievable. Morris Midwest and REM are great about it though; the trucking company is picking up the tab for the rigger's extra time.
Forget my moaning; on to NEW MACHINE DAY!
Install starts Monday as our electrician couldn't get us in until tomorrow and we weren't able to get the transformer prior to the machine delivery. We got the full two weeks of training for the First on the Floor program even though this machine didn't actually qualify for it; Morris figured if it was our first Swiss turn why cut us off after we paid extra for it to have that sixth axis? LOL
I actually have a horror story regarding why that other Tsugami (M08SY) doesn't have its bar feeder installed, but that will wait until everything is resolved. We are eager to make chips on this thing as we have dozens of legacy products that are a perfect fit. We got the 32mm so we could have some cross compatibility with the work on our other turning centers as well. The plan is to run our turning centers lights out for several hours at the end of each day.
