One of the machines I programmed 9 years ago. This wasn't one of the
more difficult programs I done but it was a small machine with a lot
going on, we got it running in the shop, where I could video it, before
delivering it. I keep this on my USB stick, with other stuff, in case
I get an interview and they want to see something I've done more than
the simple examples they have you do.

Now once again I'm underemployed but it pays good for this area this
time!

I can't help but visualize the machine spitting out wire brushes!


Do you have to place your final product in a tray like roger did. That
looks to be the tuffest part of this little machine. Keeping track of
part place position through machine stops, Estops, and restarts can be a
stone bitch.

Say, aren't you looking for an underemployed PLC ladder logic type a guy?
maybe there's a marriage made in RCM about to happen.

I was thinking about something on that line. At work we have Siemens
(among others) controls and have Siemens form Germany to go online with
our equipment for programming. I'm not sure of all the networking details
but Tom could probably set up a PC that I, or anyone he wanted, could VPN
into and program his equipment. He would need someone that could wire
switches and coils but once that was done the program could be downloaded,
troubleshot, and improved all by VPN (We use UltraVNC, free and works
great).

THAT could be interesting! As soon as we have direction and timing to start
pulling the trigger...
