Thank you LeWhite.

Thank you cgallery.

It's very, VERY, hard to have come from where I came from, working behind a desk doing computer work, that I could do in my sleep for $35K a year (easy...

Thanks for this. Truthfully, I take the job very seriously. I'm trying very hard. I'm working harder than I ever have at any job in my entire life....and I'm 35 so that's saying something.

I'm...

The Haas service rep came today and replaced the way covers. Apprently took him all of 10 minutes. The machine seems to be running, but no one was operating it today. I'm glad that mess is over.

Uh I know my English is fine. It's the Mexican that's been training me that needs help in that area.

It was ALL ME. I completely failed to tighten the vise which holds the part to be machined. That much is certain. This is a program that has been running fine for quite some time....perhaps 6 months...

G59, the damage seems to be a bit more than cosmetic.....but I'm not certain....you may be right. When you hand jog the table on the x-axis it sort-of hangs up and moves in a herky/jerky fashion. I...

It's difficult to see in this picture because I didn't even want to power it up to turn the light on but there are a couple of bright spots at the edge of the way covers on the left where it is...

Ah yes, I'm familiar with the rapid settings. Yea, this machine runs at 100% and has a cycle of only 40 seconds. The other DT-1, which I am much more familiar with, has a cycle of 5 minutes and 50...

It was purchased new a little less than a year ago.

This is not our machine but it looks exactly like it. I'm running a Macbook and don't have mspaint or photoshop right now so I can't circle the area, but look to the left of the fixtures where two...

It is for certain a DT-1.

Not saying the covers look like those pictured....but it is basically that type of assembly.

It's the way covers alright for sure. That's what they look like. And no it's not the ones facing me. Its the ones to the left when you open the door. That allow the fixture to move left and right.

Thank you for the response. I'm not sure what I mean. These are the metal parts that colapse upon one another like an accordian that allow the part to move left and right along the X-axis. They...

As a smaller issue, naturally the tools associated with this program are also broken. But that's a much smaller issue than the machine damage itself.

So I'm new to manufacturing. New to machining. I'm a computer freak...but out of my element with manufacturing, metal machining, and the whole industry.

To boil it all down, I have 15 years of IT...

So I found out today from one of our "consultants" that we received our specs from our customer in a digital CAM file. So now I know that CAM exists....I guess I should call it what it is, MasterCAM....

I just joined this forum. I'm no newbie to computers or forums but I am to manufacturing environments so I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

Long story short I just took a new job at a plant...

Hey guys. Brand new to this forum but no forum newbie. I have a ton of I.T. experience but just got my first job in a manufacturing environment in a multi-purpose plant that does painting, sraying,...
