Pretty neat to watch.

Yep, every time.

Also nice is the imachining demos, but perhaps more from a machinists point of view, chews through the work. Pity it costs a shit-ton so I've never had a chance to use it.

[awayatc]

Be great to have.....
If it isn't profitable you could just toss it in the drink........:msn-wink:

[Crasherfromwayback]

Expensive!

But fairly common.

I meant job wise. As in opportunities for employment, in-job training, and type of people often found at those companies.

I've jumped ship and on my third trade so would be interested to know who's good to work for.

I wouldn't recommend being the hairy that has to stand and watch these things all day, that shit gets old real quick! And the programmer will need CAD experience minimum, preferably CAM as well.

Not sure on specific companies or if there are many jobs going in either part.

Wow, are you really that unemployable?

Any idea just how big the helmet is? Full size, half size, keyring charm size???

Starting with a 120kg billet, I'd say full size or very close to it.

Fair enough. Of course if I had bothered to take a proper look at the intro...

I programed and ran one of these puppies in OZ about 10 yrs ago for 8 months when i was young and cocky .
From memory it was only the second one in the country at the time , the boot up operating system was windows 95 befor you went in to Mazak .
We would use both Mazak CAM in built an Uni graphics on sub programs .
So basically a 3 axis lathe with a machine centre head giving two more axis control giving full 3d 5 axis control .
A real head fuck of a machine to run , simply mistakes i made were like not in single block mode going through a new program on a tool change
eg 40 tools in the carousel and have sub tools in the carousel machine set on your bench under a different class of tool ...
a rather large groove / turn tool is not ment too rotate at 5000 rpm being it was ment too be a 12 mm end mill ... out of balance is a big factor at that rpm.

Your video showing a high speed machine centre making a dummy helmet yer maybe not so cool its not gona be used in action , moulds and dies engine blocks yes yes .

The biggest crash i have heard from a High speed machine centre 30 000 rpm full rapid straight into a job clamp sounded like one ton of steel being dropped from 3 M .
