After machining comes assembly and testing, “like breaking an engine in,” says John.
tomers. “Through my consultation with the ESPRIT engineers, I’ve learned that these parts are very complex,” says John. “There is no blueprint for this work. I have to reverse engineer each S-cam CAD and CAM to the specs. I never know what kind of order is going to come in or how many will be needed.” Thanks in part to ESPRIT, John has been able to tackle other challenging projects, too. “We needed to make a hydraulic cap from billet aluminum,” he says. “And we wanted to use one tool for two different operations to complete the project. Although it was one tool, we had to program the software to ‘believe’ that it was two different tools from the same pocket to make the product. [ESPRIT application engineer] Troy Lewis provided input and support, and within two days we had it running.” John is optimistic about his role in Clutch & Brake Xchange’s future, and he’s excited to have a hand in the shop’s development. “Hydraulic pumps are the future,” he says. “California agriculture runs on fluid power. Recently, we’ve become a Permco West Coast build center. We can port, build, and test in a day. The factory takes six to ten weeks.” Not bad for a classically trained chef ! “I didn’t go to engineering school. I have no machining background, and everything I’ve learned has been with the help of application engineers,” says John. “Thanks to that support and an amazing product, ESPRIT really is the only CAM system you’ll ever need.” ■ For more information about ESPRIT, contact: ESPRIT CAM, 1150 Avenida Acaso Camarillo, CA 93012, USA Tel: +1.805.388.6000, 800.627.8479 Fax: +1.805.388.3085 Email: esprit@dptechnology.com Website: www.espritcam.com
机加工的端口。
机加工之后是组装和测试，“就像 磨合发动机一样，”约翰说。
会收到什么样的订单，或者需要多少 订单。” 部分归功于ESPRIT，约翰也能 够处理其他具有挑战性的项目。他 说：“我们需要用铝坯制作液压 盖，而且我们希望使用一种工具进 行两种不同的操作来完成项目。尽 管它是一种工具，但我们必须对软 件进行编程，以‘相信’它是来自 同一个口袋的两种不同工具来制造产 品。ESPRIT应用工程师Troy Lewis提 供了意见和支持，两天之内我们就让它运行起来。” 约翰对他在Clutch & Brake Xchange的未来中所 扮演的角色持乐观态度，他很高兴能参与该工厂的发 展。“液压泵是未来，”他说，“加州农业依靠流体动 力机械的运行。最近，我们已成为泊姆克西海岸的制造 中心。我们可以在一天内运输、建造和测试。工厂需要 6到10周的时间。” “我没有上工程学院。我没有机械加工背景，我所 学到的一切都是在应用工程师的帮助下完成的，”约翰 说，“多亏了这种支持和出色的产品，ESPRIT 确实是 您唯一需要的 CAM 系统。” ■ 更多信息，请联系我们。 ESPRIT CAM, 1150 Avenida Acaso Camarillo, CA 93012 USA Tel: +1.805.388.6000, 800.627.8479 Fax: +1.805.388.3085 Email: esprit@dptechnology.com Website: www.espritcam.com
