Remote CMM Programming?

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.

  • Working from home is a lot easier to prove your programs out if you have accurate models of what you're measuring. For every program I make I start out with the actual fixture plate, inspection risers, even the pins in the plate are real models. 95% of my programs are written so operator doesnt even have to touch the jogbox...just put the part where I tell you and the machine does the rest

  • i get the part cad from our engineers

    i made the fixture plate & "probe rack" as an assembly model in solidworks

    i also made my risers, pins, and other models in soldiworks

    when i start a new program the first thing i do is drag in my "fixture plate with rack" model, throw the part model wherever it looks good, throw some risers or something under it and then go to town =)
