Tokyo Polytechnic University, "Intelligent Robot Laboratory" in collaboration with the private sector is conducting teaching research in a unique and extensive experience with research and development.

OneCNC Japan had previously supplied OneCNCXR3 and a visit was made to see how the software was involved in the production of parts in the laboratory. We spoke with Mr. Ikeda Ph.D, Research Associate and Mr. Yamaguchi who is in a masters course and discussed the work that was being performed by the laboratory using OneCNC.

Mr. Ikeda explained the main purpose of the introduction of OneCNC and CNC machining was "cost savings" which was necessary for the budget of the laboratory.

The laboratory also required shorter lead times in processing of the required parts.

We were surprised to find OneCNC so competitively priced for such a good product that included 3 dimensional simulation that we required.

We purchased OneCNC and found we could use it immediately after installation without any formal training. The OneCNC operation was easy to grasp and a very good user interface helped us to use it.

Mr. Yamaguchi explained that machining gear cases for example the tool paths has very smooth movements and short processing times.

Until the final shape is machined the HSM tool paths has such good constant load control that there are no part failures during the machining even on thin walled parts leaving the parts all left intact and accurate.

Mr. Ikeda said we first purchased OneCNCXR3 Mill Express and recognized it's value and soon decided to upgrade to OneCNCXR3 Mill Expert in one month.

Here are some covers for the submarine project the laboratory is building.

As a result of the introduction of OneCNC and NC machining it should pay for itself within a year and in this time provide many advantages for the future creating more efficient parts.

OneCNC and NC machining provides an important part of our research and development process which requires a lot of trial and error and extensive re-manufacture of items in the design process.

Even in a tough economy, manufacturing still matters! And staying competitive couldn't be more critical.

Since 1983 the OneCNC product has been in development and continually enhanced to operate on the latest Windows operating system and use the latest features to provide the best efficiency available.

At AUSTECH OneCNC will be demonstrating how for minimum cost you can obtain OneCNCXR3 CAD-CAM that will genuinely increase your manufacturing output from your existing CNC equipment.

In difficult times it is even more important to be totally efficient. At AUSTECH call and see for yourself this amazing offer from OneCNC in booth H30, talk to someone who knows how to cut parts, and join many other users who have improved their manufacturing efficiency.

OneCNC UK participated in "Manufacturing Efficiency" demonstrations at the invitation of Haas Automation Thursday 23rd April 2009 at the Hethel Engineering Centre.

Hethel Engineering Centre, is located at Chapman Way, Hethel, Norwich, NR14 8FB UK. Hethel Engineering Centre is a business dedicated to supporting the growth and success of high performance engineering and manufacturing companies and individuals throughout the region.

This is an amazing venue and a perfect opportunity for OneCNC UK to showcase OneCNCXR3 and in particular the High Speed machining real-time on a Haas machine to invited guests.

The theme of the day was a focus on increasing your productivity with live cutting demonstrations on the latest American CNC Technology.

Here we can see OneCNC UK Technical Director Peter Gillespie (third from right) demonstrating the functionality of OneCNCXR3 and on the left is a Haas VMC machining a part programmed earlier.

Peter (right) is always in popular demand at these information and demonstration days due to his vast machining and programming knowledge.

Here is one of the components machined and demonstrated on the day.

If you would like to find how you can benefit from the OneCNCXR3 manufacturing efficiency contact the OneCNC office for your area. You will be amazed at how inexpensive OneCNC is and how much you can gain in efficiency.
