August 2020: 新冠病毒流行时期,我们工厂正常运作

新冠病毒爆发后,加州制造业受到很大影响,湾区的很多大公司,比如位于Fremont的特斯拉,都关闭了工厂。

SYD Precision 是属于小制造企业,归类为硬件制造供应商,按照州政府规定,可以在新冠病毒流行时期正常运营。前段时间,我们为湾区的两个医疗企业提供了治具制造和零件打样, 按期的交付了产品。

我们的零件制造工作和医疗公司的研究员和博士们的工作相比,微不足道,但是我们可以自豪的说,在新冠病毒时期,我们小工厂依然如旧的在努力工作。

August 2020: During corona-virus pandemic, we are still working hard

During the corona-virus pandemic, most of the bay area manufacturing industry have been sharply impacted, some big factories have been closed, such as Tesla in Fremont.

SYD Precision is a small business and categorized as hardware supplier, so we are still legally operating. We worked very hard with two medical companies in Bay Area to provide them the fixture and prototypes.

Our cnc machining work may be very humble comparing to those medical companies’ researchers and doctors, but we are very proud that we are still working hard as usual as before.

January 2020: We bought 3 more CNC machines

After one year in the business with only two brand new CNC machines, we have grown up steadily and have many returned customers in Silicon Valley of California.

In order to service our customers with more shortened lead-times and expand our capacities, we bought another 2 CNC milling machines equipped with FANUC controllers and 1 CNC turning machine, also equipped with FANUC controller.

No matter for a simple piece job, or small quantity production job, all CNC machining jobs can spread onto these 5 machines, will be greatly shortening the lead time.

January 2020:我们又增添了三台CNC机床

开业到现在已经一年多了,最初起步只有两台全新的CNC加工中心, 随着工厂的稳定发展,我们在加州硅谷已有越来越多的回头顾客。

为了更好的服务客户,缩短交货时间,扩大加工产能,我们今年初又买了两台带Fanuc控制器的加工中心,一台带Fanuc控制器的数控车床。

不管是单个零件,还是小批量生产,都可以把加工工序分布到这五台机器中去,可以极大的缩短交货时间。

December 2019: 我们购买了一台Starrett CMM(美国原产三坐标测量仪)

本月我们购买了一台 Starrett HGC 2024-16 CMM 三坐标测量仪。这是台二手但是状况非常良好的机器,测量仪带有雷尼绍MIP探头,Starrett 公司出品的Apogee 测量软件。我们从湾区南部San Jose 一家大的CNC工厂购买的,他们因为年底要抵税就购买了一台全新的三坐标测量仪,所以就把旧的便宜出售掉。因此我们很幸运就可以拿到这台机器。

机器水平校正,安装调试好后,我们用精密测量块来试测了一下精度,测试结果非常准确和满意。

December 2019: We purchased a Starrett CMM

We bought a used but in excellent condition Starrett HGC 2024-16 CMM. The CMM comes with a Renishaw MIP Touch Probe and Starrett Apogee Software. The CMM was sold by another big CNC factory in south San Jose, and they bought another latest brand-new CMM machine at the end of the year for tax deduction purpose, so we are lucky we can acquire it with an affordable price and equip our small CNC machine shop with a professional CMM.

After the CMM machine is leveled and setup, we did some test measurement with our block gauges, it is very accurate and satisfied.

October 2019: Fanuc oi-mf control system upgrade

On October 11, engineer from Fanuc’s San Francisco branch arrived at our production facility to help us with the Fanuc control system upgrade. One of our CNC machine control system is upgraded from Fanuc oi-mf D4G1-18 to Fanuc oi-mf D4G1-38.

After the system is upgraded, we can use the Program Transfer Tool software developed by Fanuc to drag and drop the NC program directly from the PC to the CF card inserted in the CNC controller, and then DNC NC programs from the CF card directly.

The new CNC control system greatly increases productivity, saves many finger-press-button works and DNC from CF card is also very stable than DNC from Ethernet, it also avoided to buy expensive Fanuc Data Server for DNC large NC program purpose.

For the CNC machines built early with old control system before version Fanuc oi-mf, the NC programs cannot be directly transferred from the PC to the CF card through the Ethernet network. It can only use Data Server, so Data Server is still useful for old CNC machines.

Equipped with new CNC machines, new upgraded system, and efficient machining capabilities, it makes SYD Precision an advantage when quoting new jobs for customers.

October 2019: Fanuc oi-mf 系统升级

10月11号,Fanuc公司美国旧金山分公司的工程师到达我们生产车间,免费帮我们Fanuc系统升级, 从Fanuc oi-mf D4G1-18直接升级到Fanuc oi-mf D4G1-38。

系统升级后,可以使用Fanuc公司开发的Program Transfer Tool软件,直接把NC加工程式从PC拖放到插在CNC控制器上的CF卡,然后再从CF卡DNC加工程序,极大的提高了生产效率,而且从CF卡直接DNC也非常稳定,省下了购买昂贵的Fanuc Data Server 的钱。

但是对于Fanuc oi-mf 之前的CNC 机器,是不能通过Ethernet网络把NC程序直接从PC传输到CF卡的,只能使用Data Server, 所以,Data Server 还是有用武之地。

新的CNC机器,新的升级后的系统,高效精密的加工能力,使得SYD Precision 在新客户报价方面,极具有优势。

August 2019: 新添置四轴转台

最近公司新添置一台ATS SYSTEM INC 美国公司生产的四轴转台,型号:RT160. 此四轴转台安装在配备有Fanuc-oi-mf控制器的CNC立式加工中心上。

配置四轴后,将能加工一些复杂的圆柱型零件,减少很多工件重新装夹的次数,大大的提高工作效率和产能。

August 2019: 4-Axis Table Installed

We recently purchased a 4-axis table for our Fanuc oi-mf CNC machine. It is sold by ATS Systems Inc USA, the model is RT160.

With the setup of 4-axis table, we are able to machine many complicated round parts. It can greatly reduce the setting time and expend our machine shop’s capability.
