[step-manufacturing] Reminder conference call at 10:30AM Eastern

[Martin Hardwick]

All,

The conference call is at 4:30PM France, 10:30AM Eastern and 7:30AM 
Western USA. The connect details are given below.

If you want to look at any of the sample data sets and have an 
ST-Explorer license then the latest version of the software is at:
ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Sweden/feed_speed_optimization/Bordeaux/stepnc_4_14.msi

And instructions for creating and viewing tolerances using the Explorer are at:
ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Sweden/feed_speed_optimization/Bordeaux/Making_and_viewing_tolerances.ppt


The Meeting agenda is as follows:

1. The Sandvik/Boeing machining optimization demonstration using 
large cutting tools and the Dallas Fishhead data.

We should discuss the equipment measurements made by Sandvik for the 
optimization algorithms:
ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Sweden/feed_speed_optimization/Machining_Related_Data.xls

These numbers are in response to the requirements described by Boeing in
ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Sweden/feed_speed_optimization/Machine_Cutter_Params.ppt


2. The U.Bordeaux/Airbus machining optimization demonstration using 
small cutting tools and HSM data for the Fishhead

We should discuss a STEP Tools proposal for reducing the file size 
for HSM data:
ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Sweden/feed_speed_optimization/Bordeaux/HSM_file_size.ppt

The file size reduction is dramatic. The data used to make the 
measurements is in the following directory:
ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Sweden/feed_speed_optimization/Bordeaux/


3. The NIST/U.Vigo demonstration of traceability of tool path 
deviation and spindle power consumption using the Ibusuki Fishhead data.

NIST is getting ready to make the first measurements for spindle 
power and path deviation.


4. The KTH/Scania demonstration of closed loop machining for the 
automotive industry using hand held, computerized gauges.

The AP-203 e2 tolerances independently made by KTH at
ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Sweden/closed_loop_machining/Part2_toleranced.stp

The AP-238 data containing these tolerances and machining data made 
using Mastercam at:
ftp://www.steptools.com/private/Sweden/closed_loop_machining/Part2_paths_and_geometry.238

Some of the measuring devices that we propose to use are described at:
