"you are selling bad software that needs extensive updating reqards"

His first post here on the zone. Now I can not figure out why someone would do a thing like this. Any way sorry to have interrupted your thread.

Hi, I have been progamming for about 9 years. I started out in a sheetmetal shop programming cnc turret punches and after about 5 years moved to a wood shop to program cnc routers. The software I have used for programming is Merrymech SMP, Alpha Cam, & Microvellum.

I setup and run a CNC Mill but don't program other than to modify the existing programs if there is and problems

[kzajko]

I am just a helper here but I enjoy learning new things in our cnc machine shop :rainfro:.

[the thrill]

14 years general machining experience, 10 years of CNC programming. I do everything from 2 axis lathes to 12 axis mill/turn centers with 2 spindles and 3 turrets and 3-5 axis mills. setup, programming, fixture design, turn key solutions, time studies, etc.

I started out as a cnc operator/trainee. Did that for about 6 years, and have been programming cnc's full time for the last 7 years. Just wondering who else on cnczone works in manufacturing.

I do all everyday,since 1996,the machines I work on are Mazak Quick Turn 20 H.P and the new Mazak Nexus 250

i have got a stepper motor and a 5A h-bridge for 5 wire stepper.
i bought a breakout board which buffers the parallel port output to 5V+.
now i want to run my stepper through parallel port using Turbocnc cam software.

I am confused about the phase definations in the axis configuration.can you help me how to define phases in the phase definations?

this is a link to the Turbocnc help with photos even.
but still my motor is not running.

can u tell me how to set pins 2,3,4,5 for stepper pulses?
hope you can help.

Hi,

I started a fitting apprenticeship in 2004 for an ex company of Horstman in Bath UK, now its 2008 I am still an apprentice, been programming and operating XYZ 4000VM Milling Machine, for the last 8 months, now being trained on our new DOOSAN PUMA 240 Turning Centre and DOOSAN MYNX 410 Maching Centre, in the new year I will be progressing on to learning BobCAD-CAM.

Absolutely love machine would never go back to fitting.

hye all..im a newbie..
dont know if anyone is reading this

I've had my ez-router useing bobcad for about 2 years now. I started out and learned how to run the Cad, Cam, and router by myself just cutting out flat parts for video game cabinets, now I don't do much of that simple programming and cutting anymore. It's very satisfiying when you learn a new operation and actually cut it, but it is very discouraging sometimes because I'm trying to learn it on my own. All you guys on here have been very helpfull with the information that you provide. THanks,

I've been in the trade 20 years and have done most every aspect of the job. From entry level button pusher to manufacturing engineer....
I started writing programs long hand, but now use Gibbs Cam.

[LaserPro]

Hi, Started out as button pusher in 1993 on a Trumpf TC500R With a 1250 Sheetmaser and Stopa storage unit. I made my way to programming a year later. I Starting Laser programming in 2001 for a Trumpf 6030 3k, and have been doing it since. I currently have at arms length, a Trumpf 3030 4k, and a Trumpf 2030 3.2k Laser. I've used Merry Mech. SMP, Pronest, and Tops.

[chippslinger]

I started like most probably as a button pusher but was so intriged that I started reading about it in books and online in '94 right out of high school. I have done it long hand and now use Gibbs Cam but still like to do it the old way. Just to show the younger guys you dont need the computer.

[TRIMI]

I think the both ways are good idea the learn, I was the lead supervisor at Company call ZTM in wichita , ks on aerospace , is pretty handy type your own programs or learn
how program on one off the many cad programs there on the market , my self I bought a BOB cad it is Ok but still I need to still learning , but right now after get fire in December 11 2008 , i owns A FADAL because I really familiar with this machines I been working with this machines for 9 years ALSO WITH ROTARY 4 AXIS FADALS FANUC CONTROLS RUNINN MORISIKI.
