Description


In this episode Devin and Uriel talk about some of the improvments they made over the past week and the thinking behind each.

Some of the improvements include:
-Added coolant cancel codes and A axis return to tool break detect program
-Made a setup sheet template. I was making more and more errors or omissions as things seemingly continue to accelerate
-Ordered three probe halos
-Updated probe calibration routines in our SOP's tab with photos and better descriptions
-Had date and time of posting added to my post processor
-Added a separate operation option in our ERP for softjaws
-SMED softjaws
-Used a taller insert for the first time, thinking of switching to them
-Thinking about moving Kanban to a relational database. Looking at Coda but open to other ideas
-Added red and green tape to our replacement tooling
-Had Avi out at the shop, to try out some pretty nifty cameras that should trigger Andon lights. Curious to see how these work
-Added barcodes to back of new kanban
