autotech:machinery:todo:start

We received an excellent training session and some good pizza at the school compliments of Hurco and Rocky. This is the initial list of things to do and purchase.

Special Notes

Better to use regular water with coolant as filtered/RO water tends to foam
Mark from Hurco zero'd the machine which is a one time thing - z=-17.9564 (I think)
WorkNC is the CAM software that Mark prefers
Type of collet chucks - CAT40 ER32 - Lengths can vary
A company called “techniques” I think he said - Could be a source for tooling donations
I took a picture of techniksusa.com which might be that tooling source he meant

Todos

Establish a position on the intranet (request a static ip address)
Build a stable rolling tool shelf for collet chucks / work space
Evaluate how many additional collet chucks to purchase in order to stock the carousel
Meet and refresh ourselves on Start Up / Shut Down / and conversational programming
Create an axis cheat sheet for posting
Create a tooling chart that explains the what and why for the parameters that we end up choosing
Create a tooling gage block that prevents tools being put in that are too long
Create a special procedure for when we need to use tools that are too long for the carousel
Rainx on viewing window
Build our own touch tool with dial indicator?
Begin populating this wiki with information and how-tos for the machine
Get terminology correct and create glossary

Shopping List

Couple of Edge Finders
Couple of touch tools (z axis)
Couple of dial indicators
1/4“ Drill Chuck (high precision?)
1/2” Drill Chuck (high precision?)
Collet Chucks
Looks like Collet Chucks do not come with that little end that Rocky put on - might have to order those too
