The newspaper article indicates the machines are not even on the FLOOR, yet! Unless he has a commercial retrofitter come in with a team of 5 guys per machine, there is NO WAY he can have these machines just plain moving in that time - barely a month! And, in the aerospace biz, he needs to have the accuracy tested with the appropriate interferometric gear, and then do any fixups. Then, he probably needs to run some test parts and evaluate for a while to find out what works and what doesn't. I would think that before he puts $50,000 of aluminum or $500,000 of Titanium on the big mill and starts cutting, he needs to be sure he will make a part within the customer's tolerances.
The idea of having machines that have been stored more than a decade in a collapsing potato shed and then offering them for commercial aerospace work in less than a month is way beyond laughable! There will be so much wrong with these machines that will need careful study and correction, the gathering of often odd and hard to obtain repair parts, etc. Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
