New Machine at STW

happening now as i type. the first of our brand new CNC machines is making its way into the factory. yes we are fully committed to carrying on and making improvements....







hopefully more photos will be up later... if they get it in !!!!

keep an eye on our facebook page, im sure Dean will post regular updates

well its in, the installation team will be in on Monday to set it up.

very hectic in the factory today, with the old machine going out, new one coming in and another having to be moved to allow it all to fit through. also boilers everywhere so no facebook updates so far. I do know mark has taken loads of photos so will get them up tomorrow sometime

Ooooo are we going to get an "un-boxing" video

photos taken from facebook for anyone who hasn't seen them...

well its not been an easy week getting the new machine together, it was finally ready on the wednesday and then we had two days training, one for me and one for mark. so this afternoon i get to set up its first job, the new inners for the showmans dynamo...







so im off to go and play, maybe ill do a video sometime next week

spent the morning on the new machine, basically setting up the program for the showmans dynamo magnet holder and playing around getting used to the editing functions...



well its all set and no problems or crashes want to spend a little time on monday trying to speed things up a bit...

some video of the new machine.
now, this was filmed using my phone so its not top quality and the sound keeps dropping, probably because i had my finger over the mic
also a lot of the noise is not coming from the machine. the sound you can hear in the first section, like a mad Bee on a moped, is the boiler maker preparing boiler plate with the "nibbler".

nice to have a clean machine at STW, it basically like our old machines with a few extras and reads the exact same code, in fact this program was first used on our old 4th axis machine to make the prototype rotors...
