CNC Training?

[John S]

Wizer, Not knowing your machine but guessing it's one that uses a networked pendant control instead of a conventional controller the hardest part will be finding someone who is conversant with these machines to help you getting setup.

Can your seller recommend anyone in your area

I know a local signmaker how had the same problem and it took him a trip to Birmingham to see a similar machine in use before he got his head round it.

Perhaps this will help on Aspire training ?

Hi John

I don't mind jumping in the car if needs be.

I don't recognise the term networked pendant control? In the details I have it just says 'DSP System (Option:Ncstudio PC)'. What should I be looking for?

I found you tube good for learning Artcam but then I'm a very visual learner and much prefer watching than reading.

I wouldn't go booking any jobs for the machine straight away even thou I know time is money. . .You will need a good few days, even a week to get to grips with just using the machine if you've not had no previous experinece using CNC machine.

There is one thing you need to know and be aware of regards Software. Each software needs a specific Post processor thats specific to your machine controller in order to creat G-code in a format it under stands. This is not always available if your machine uses's a custom control so you need to check this out with each software you plan on using. Often they will build one for you if not available, sometimes free some times they will charge. The seller should be able to provide you with one but best checked else you won't be able to produce G-code.
