Overall, getting back to work has been pretty righteous...

Now if only I knew why the ball of each foot feels like someone is taking a makita cordless drill on a one way trip through them, I would be in business. I think what I am feeling right now is indirectly caused by the aproximately seven years I spent hoping on and off fork lifts. Only six more weeks or so and I am in my normal assignment...sometimes training sucks.

At any rate, I've been dealing with industrial lasers for the last couple of weeks or so, I am definitely looking forward to getting into the programming side of things on them. I got a chance last week to observe some programming tests on a Tanaka 3 axis industrial laser that was bigger than some houses I have lived in over the years.

Still here, any how...filling in the gaps, and putting things together. Dealing with the enemies this time around in the comic...and filling in the pieces on a number of things that I know that people who have gamed in this world have always been wondering about..or came up with the wrong explanations for. Comic is uploaded for tomorrow by the way...at least I am on a section that is relatively easy to pull off for once. The recent underground railroad staion I had to put together was a nightmare. I worked okay comic-wise...but it still isn't quite what I wanted in the end.

Oh

meteru ? You really need to head over to Vanishing Point and check out their marketplace for Poser models and stuff. There are a number of things over there that I havent seen anywhere else. One thing of interest is a whole series of trains (engines, boxcars, tankers and the like) From what I can see they look absolutely awesome.

Need all kinds of things right now...soda, cigarette and sleep in that exact order. It's too much to ask for a total lack of pain in my feet as well.

I see you coming and going on aim. Sorry we don't have the chance to chat of late.

Been thinking about you often and wondering how the new job was developing and progressing.

I have just skimmed this entry as it is after 5am in the morning. When I awaken
and get a chance, I will sit down and give this entry a detailed going over.

In the mean time, in between time, I am glad your job is keeping you on your toes
so to speak and I am sorry your other body parts are feeling the strain of your 'training period'.

Hang in there.

Positive vibes being sent your way.
Nemtet.

Are they programed in the basic CNC "G-Code". Just Curious.

Yes they are...everything we are doing is G-Code based (Our Trumph Lasers are, as well as our Tanaka 3 axis lasers). Of course, we have a few additional things to worry about now like gas pressure, focal length, laser wattage, and what gases are being used to do the cut.

Sounds bad ass. Did I understand correctly that you are going to be a programmer? If so G-Code is no sweat. On the 3-axis laser, is the 3rd axis the angle of the cut? Nothing like getting grilled on your LJ is there?

No, it's not the angle of the cut...we're talking about the movement of the tool/head within X,Y, or Z

As for programming in G-Code...I ain't too worried about it. The CNC machines I was training people on for Elumatec were 3 and 5 axis machines. They were G-Code based also...they just had a different setup for zero than a lot of them did...plus they were using Z as a way to describe going up from the surface of the part...unlike Bryce 3d where the Y axis was used. I did quite a bit of programming at Elumatec, only there what I was doing it for was a test study for a customer. The goal was to show a substantial improvement in runtime between what we could do with our machines and what they could do currently. It was easy dealing with aluminum profiles and the like....even though I had a tendency to put together programs like a 3d modeler would do it instead of how a CNC programmer does it

A CNC programmer tends to just draw a couple of lines to cut out a square corner on a profile...I used to have a tendency to do it like I would in Bryce (draw a square to cut out a square corner, and then just adjust the position of the cutout square to adjust the position the square corner...or a negative object to clear out a positive object)

More on G-Code....
The Elumatec machines, I think used a total of, at the most 6 or 7 different G-Codes...I know that these can pretty much use the whole damn gambit.

Glad to hear from you
