I like strolling through the forum and seeing all of the cool stuff you guys are able to come up with. The thought provoking questions and surprisingly solid answers make my job a hell of a lot easier.
Thanks guys!
I originally started with CMM by accident. I had been a CNC programmer for a few years when someone crashed a machine. The problem wasn't the fact that the machine crashed, the problem was that they thought I did it because I was the only one in the milling department that knew G-Code. the bad part was the fact that I wasn't even there the day it crashed. After a couple of days of going back and forth, they realized that I wasn't there by verifying the time cards and cameras. With that being said, I was no longer allowed on the cnc floor. The put me in quality. I've been there every since 2003. When I started in the QC lab, we had an old Mitutoyo manual bridge. I think it was using GeoMeasure. I then moved on to work with Zeiss Faro arms and Calypso. Finally, I started using Romer arms using PCD 4.2. BTW, I still program CNCs from time to time. only now I use CAM.
