Event Schedule

 

Morning Session: Mastering the Setup

10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

 

Focus: Precision, Standardization, & High-Density Workholding

  • Zero Point Workholding: Learn how Haas Zero Point systems can transform your changeover times from minutes to seconds.
  • The Power of Templates: We’ll demonstrate how CAM Templates and Template Files eliminate repetitive tasks, ensuring faster programming and consistent setups every time.
  • Machine Simulation: See the benefits of "proving out" in the software rather than on the machine to prevent crashes and maximize uptime.
  • 4th & 5th Axis Tombstones & Pyramids: Discover high-density workholding strategies, spotlighting the latest trends in mini tombstones and pyramids for 5-axis machining, to dramatically increase your parts per cycle.
  • Morning Q&A: Get your specific workholding and programming questions answered by the pros.

Afternoon Session: Smart Manufacturing & Automation

12:00 PM - 2:00 PM

 

Focus: Real-Time Data, Closed-Loop Machining, & Advanced Offsets

  • Leveraging Dynamic Work Offset (DWO): Tying directly into our morning workholding session, see how using DWO alongside 5-axis pyramids and mini tombstones simplifies programming, speeds up changeovers, and removes the headache from multi-sided part setups.
  • Live Connect: Experience the power of real-time machine monitoring and data integration.
  • Driving WCS: Learn how to reduce setup time by using a Driving Work Coordinate System to automate part positioning.
  • Inspection – Cut, Measure, Cut: Stop guessing. Learn how to use in-process probing to measure parts and update offsets automatically for perfect first-article results.
  • Advanced Part Alignment: Techniques for handling complex castings or misaligned stock with ease.
