My special expertise is machine side training of programmers and operators on problematic, complex, machines. My typical visit is 2 1/2 days (20 hours). Email me BleierCNCTraining@gmail.com or call me (847) 917-8145 if I can be of service to you
Contact me for a free copy of my book "CNC: A Contemporary Explanation." I don't plan to publish in order to limit its distribution to North American. Email me at bleiercnctraining@gmail.com. Tell me the name/location of your employer and something about your machines/workpieces. Tell me the school you attend if you are a student.
Here is the first paragraph of the Preface:
This
book is about the NC programming language of the Sinumerik 840D CNC by Siemens
for experienced CNC workers and engineers. Many of the chapters are summaries
of my practice with 840D machines. In order to write about this practice I have
had to reinvent the explanation of CNC from the ground up. This is why this
book could be useful to individuals who are new to the CNC workshop and more
competitive students of CNC training programs. For these readers the book aims
to tease out of the XYZ vertical mill and ZX horizontal lathe a broader and
deeper explanation of CNC.BRIDGEPORT
