What happens when the switch box fails (lightning, fork lift, etc.) Your out of business, right? Our system has yet to fail...in 12 years.

Alright! Thanks Engine Guy!!! I must have missed that in the getting started manual. Other than the (non-library) library, that helped a bunch. I just couldn't get past that Haas post and the...
Thanks Mike,
Certainly NOT the answer I was hoping for. How about the inability to define a new machine? It's almost like this is a school project, that never got completed. How about having to...
I guess BobCAD doesn't understand the definition of 'Library', at least in V24. Is there a link to a complete tool repository? I see the V25 tool library actually has tools in it, but the files are...
Cheer up! At least you have a 'library'. Using BobCad...library with nothing on the shelves.:(
Do it in the post.
I just installed V24 and it seems strange that the Tools Library is empty. Is this normal? The Toolfile.mtools filesize is less than 1 kb. Also the materials Library has a very small number of...
None now. I retired a couple of years ago and my software partner has taken a job completely out of the field. Sorry Bob.
Wow, it's been a long time since I was on this thread. John, I think maybe you have low expectations of what a DNC should accomplish. To date, now over 5 years, our system has NEVER failed to capture...
Hey Chris,
Did you resolve this, or still need help? Wireless generally is bad news in a shop floor environment.
It scares me when I see a piece of software that has any level higher than .2. In other words, POSsoftware 3.3.6 or Anysoftware 6.1.5 gives me the feeling that whoever built it, is using me as a...
Mmmm. How about using something like a Fluke meter that measures inductance? I don't believe that the "inductance" will vary that much. "Inductive Reactance (XL)" however, will vary proportionately...
Offer to meet him face to face and bring along someone from your State's Attorney General's office.

This doesn't solve his problem of 10 machines. You would theoretically need 10 of the Grecos if you didn't want to plug, unplug, and between the 10 CNC's, you would need 10 PC's as well,...
Think of your Fanuc controller as a 'modem'. After you set the baud rate, start -stop and # of bits to match what is set up in the FANUC, you need to find out what data it is "listening for"....
OK, here's probably more than you would ever want to know....
I am guessing that what you hope to accomplish is to be able to SEND and RECEIVE data from your CNC controllers to a server used as a...
Awesome!
Instead of using the DELTREE as one of the guys pointed out can be dangerous, try doing this...just a little more time consuming but gives you a little safer route.
Get in the directory you want...
You are joking right? Sounds more like a soft liberal line than anyone in 'the corps' I was associated with. Are you the union steward? ..semper fi!
I guess it's how you look at it. Typically (and correctlly) the root C:\ is the top or highest level. When you say sub-directory, think about as in sub-basement, or subordinate. Those directories...
You meant one directory "above" didn't you?
Jim
From any C:\anydirectory - Type CD C:\ This will take you to the root of your C drive.
You an rmdir unwanted\ to remove the named unwanted directory.
If you are sitting at a C: prompt, you can:...
Oh, no doubt about it, the guy that hides the edit key, I'd terminate him in a New York minute. A clear case of violating a "condition of employment". The edit key is a shop asset, misused by the...
Bingo! "job of management" Earning the respect, by knowing what it takes to do the task themselves.

Actually, depending on the tenure of an employee, a review should be held quarterly, semi, or annually. A poor performer at least monthly until he/she either performs satisfactorily, or is shown the...
It goes back to my comment about 6 pages back. People in this industry sorely need to get some managers that understand that employees need feedback as to how they are doing. Whether they "do good"...
welchmechanical,
Excellent post! The operative part of your message was "Managers like when you find a problem and not just bring it to their attention, but come with a few solutions to the...
Geof, somehow your tagline "An open mind is is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out." just doesn't seem to match:
"I can be arrogant all the time and I don't care if the...
Well, I'm now retired, and I'll tell you first hand, thick headedness is not necessarily a function of age. I've generally found it to be inversely proportional to competence. I've also had over a...
