All,<br>
<br>
The regular conference call is at the regular times this Wednesday. The
proposed agenda is as follows.<br>
<br>
1. Data status<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://ftp.steptools.com/private/NIST/Boxy_Part_3-Axis_Machining_8_Setups_v4.238">ftp://ftp.steptools.com/private/NIST/Boxy_Part_3-Axis_Machining_8_Setups_v4.238</a><br>
<br>
This data set has 8 setups, half inch tooling and the cross section
parameters set. The basic optimization algorithm makes the machining 6%
faster.<br>
<br>
2. Machining status<br>
<br>
What more is needed before we can begin the tool wear tests.<br>
<br>
3. Review of the Machine tool model<br>
<br>
The first of three reviews on inputs to the second edition of AP-238
(HiPP model to follow in next call).<br>
<br>
4. Review Schedule<br>
<br>
March 03 - Tool and material selection<br>
March 17 - Verification of Boxy with 1/2 inch tooling<br>
March 31 - Test run of feed/speed optimization algorithms<br>
April 14 - Participants complete dry runs<br>
April 28 - Participants machine in wax<br>
May 12 - Test run of tool wear measurement algorithms <br>
May 26 - First round of on machine testing<br>
June 9 - Finalize program for the NIST meeting and demonstration<br>
