The machines were MUCH more productive with MDSI Opencnc than they were with the original Cincinatti Big Blue controls. Experience with the retrofit process could be part of it. I personally do not think so. Ease of use would favor MDSI Opencnc. The operators have 10 years experience with it. The setup is done before the production. The operators were talking about the floor to floor production. As time goes by I will be able to determine why there is an increase in production. Machine slide speed is not the reason. I did not try to increase the rapid motion speed. The feed rates would be the same per the program. Using the same fixtures, cutters and programs we get almost twice as many parts per shift with EMC2. I don't know why.
