STEP Tools has added a feature for querying the coordinates of faces in
each setup. Boeing was able to use this feature during its test
machining over the weekend but questioned why the coordinates had to
change for every setup. NIST had similar questions. Fred Proctor
volunteered to investigate the setup issue in more detail and present
the results at the NIST meeting.<br>
<br>
The latest version of Boxy contains lots of different speeds and feeds
because of the different versions of the toolpaths created during
testing. Bengt volunteered to use the feed speed editor of the STEP-NC
Explorer to harmonize and reduce the number of feeds and to report back
on any difficulties.<br>

<br>
Boeing is ready to begin test machine Boxy in steel. In order to
complete the test we will need cross section data for the new
toolpaths. Sandvik volunteered to update its Vericut project with the
new paths so that the cross sections can be generated.<br>
<br>
We discussed the meeting agenda. A new session to review the history of
STEP-NC testing was added to the end of the first day. A new session to
discuss a follow on-demonstration featuring more machining of Boxy with
more automation of setup changes and automatic tool selection using an
interface to ISO 13399 was added to the third day.<br>

Boeing and NIST will machine boxy again this weekend and give feedback
on the
next conference call.<br>
<br>
The next call will be at the regular times on <b>Wednesday June 2</b>.
