Hello all. Long time since posting on the zone but couldn't think of a better place to ask questions and get great input. As of this Monday i will be putting in my two week notice at my current job then starting at my new job working with swiss machines. I know very little about these machines so i have some questions.
First i will give you some background on what i know.
I have 12 years experience running vertical mills of all sizes from a small thirty taper to large 50 taper machines.
For the last 7 years i have been running mazak machines using there mazatrol convsational programming.
I have basic knowledge of g and m codes but its been some time.
Very little experience on lathes.
These are the machines i will be working with.
Citizen Cincom swiss machines
A32, L20E type IX, K16E VII, L32, L20 XIII
Are there any resources out there that can help me learn how to program these machines?
I understand how these machines work. Im more concerned about learning to program them to do it.
Any help would be great.
Thanks very much!
