With how common remote work is these days, I'm wondering if anyone has ever been able to obtain an offline seat and a company-supplied workstation to program from home? I'd imagine that a lot of trust and prestige would be needed to be able to do this.
We have the option to work from home, but I prefer to be where the action is.
All our programming is done offline and released to the production floor.
Proving programs out is optional to the programmer, although I prefer that. We do a lot of work on parts that aren't around, so most of the time we don't have a part in hand.
ALousyUser I would agree with
DAN_M. Approximately that long. It takes a lot to get your head wrapped around how the machine will move around a part. You have to "see" it while you're programming. The more difficult the part, the harder it is. Something with A0B0 the whole time is really easy, but if you have 10 different probe rotations and you have to squeeze by the part because the part is as big as your table, then it takes a lot more educated experience to make it run the first time without crashing.
