Cinco aspectos de seguridad en programación CNC
Mike Lynch | Modern Machine Shop México
Un programa en código G inseguro no solo genera piezas defectuosas, sino también tiempos muertos. Cinco áreas de la programación CNC concentran los principales vectores de falla: condiciones de corte, manejo de barras, activación de la sujeción en ejes rotativos, orientación de la herramienta y control del movimiento de aproximación rápida.
OEE en el taller: cómo definir y capturar datos confiables
Ángela Andrea Castro | Modern Machine Shop México
Dos talleres pueden usar la misma fórmula de OEE y obtener resultados incomparables si clasifican de manera distinta sus paros y sus setups. La captura automática desde el control reduce la zona gris en la que se acumulan microparos, tiempos muertos y pérdidas que el registro manual no detecta.
Captura de datos en mecanizado CNC: qué medir y por qué
Eduardo Tovar | Modern Machine Shop México
En mecanizado CNC, el problema no es la falta de señales sino decidir cuáles capturar. La diferencia entre tiempo de ciclo teórico y real, la clasificación de paros y el uso práctico del OEE determinan si los datos se convierten en visibilidad operativa o en información acumulada sin uso.
