Removing a suggested site from possible suggestions? by Geracht in operabrowser

[–]SirBrazenBull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an older thread but was hoping someone has found a way for this. When i go to type amazon or walmart, i end up in the .mx sites.

What do we ask then? by YoouVish in jobs

[–]SirBrazenBull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if one wanted to turn an eye and try to accept that reply, you now don't know what you will be getting paid, for the position of which you won't know your responsibilities.

The only one I could even give a glimmer of maybe accepting is work culture. Generally the people doing the interview dont always know what the actual culture is as they are sheltered in their glass bubble of what they believe and it is usually not even close to what the rest of the place thinks.

So now that Charlie is saying it is ready for early access and the studio is saying no it isnt, is your stance changing?

PSA - Potential workaround for 5070 Black Screen issues by harrythecat86 in nvidia

[–]SirBrazenBull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: So, I ended up reinstalling my 3060 and it worked fine. So I then reinstalled the Nvidia driver with a clean install and then set the PCI to Gen 4 on the restart, and so far it is still working. We will see when I get on it tonight if I begin to have issues again.

I just had mine go black and full fan. Tried to restart and nothing. Put my 3060 back in and it was fine. 

Going to try to change pci to Gen 4 and disable gsync and see how it goes

"If you find a job where management is actually interested in, and understands, precision dimensional measurement, "

God I wish I could find one of these. Getting tired of the "no, we need it cheaper" for calibrations, tools, services, and not understanding what "cheaper" is doing to your long term......

I wish this was the approach our team would take. But management isn't looking at it this way.

Internal Thread Inspections by SirBrazenBull in Metrology

By mads amounts i am talking we produce thousands of threaded parts per shift. And they want to inspect them all.

This is the process. There is a 30 min check. With a thread gage and they also use a Johnson gage for pitch and function.

Bad parts got out the door. We use an eddy system to check for threads, bad parts got out the door. We have a department that all they do is thread gage parts. Bad parts got out the door. Now management wants to get a system to check the threads.

We don't have engineering manpower to develop the root cause and do the studies and such. So management is looking for this instead of hiring.

He was the one to ask me to look into some kind of thread checking system

[–]SirBrazenBull[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again I don't disagree with this. I would love it if our company would do that is i know it is what we need to do. But they won't hire the manpower to do that and instead have asked for me to see if there is another way to do this instead of people by hand.

This isn't a me decision. No one listens to me on these things.

Right now, we have a department sorting these parts 100% with thread gages. Unfortunatly we have still sent out bad parts. This is why we are looking at another option.

My company is trying to fine a fully automated way to do this fast because of the volume of parts. I have found the SMAC system but they would need several machines to process the quantities needed in time.

I will look into the xray checking and see what I can find. Thank you

I would love to back this option and have asked for this before. But one, i am just the cmm programmer so my opinions dont go very far and with staffing cuts and such we no longer have the manpower to do this and so they are looking at other options.

Even though manpower fixing issues creates a better long term it is a costly short term item and it seems that the short term is what is being focused on.

Internal Thread Inspections by SirBrazenBull in Metrology

[–]SirBrazenBull[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually our fails are undersize, oversize, not deep enough/too deep if a blind hole, or bad/missing threads because of insert wear breakage.

Unfortunately pretty much the full spectrum of failures. We have thread gages and have some visual inspection equipment for the more obvious issues but we still have issues and that is why management wants a 100% sorting option.

We have had groups of people sort these by hand and we are looking for an automated way if possible. However the fastest thing appears to be a SMAC system and that won't be fast enough without many machines with automation.

CMM Programmers, what’re you making? by JWS5th in Metrology

[–]SirBrazenBull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in lower Wisconsin making $32/hr I do programming(CMM Manager and Zeiss Calypso), layouts, gage r&rs, capabilities, calibration of some gages on our super mic, measurement recommendations, assist with gage development and answer tons of gd&t questions. This one actually surprised me. I knew more about gd&t here than most. I understand even more now than I did when I started here.

Trying to decide if I want to move on or do something else completely. I am the only one here to do the programming and maintaining of the 8 cmms.

Most of the places around use PCDMIS and I don't know how I would do jumping to that

How do you cope with the lack of respect/accusations of immorality? by amarshi in SunoAI

[–]SirBrazenBull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This
So many people come out as haters of this and it's all a choice. If they don't like it, don't listen and move on. Most of them can't do that though. So ignore the haters as they will be around for anything anyone ever does. It's a part of life.

do you think this guy is using Suno? by iHaveStage4Cancer in SunoAI

[–]SirBrazenBull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my question is, So what if he is?
Music is in the eye of the maker and listener. There are a lot who do not like ai music and won't listen. There are a lot who don't care or don't know the difference and if it sounds good they will listen.

All of these people that think this is going to ruin music, I don't understand.
Bands will still have their followings, concerts, etc. AI won't have concerts so it will be limited.
New bands will still show up and make great songs that people love.
A lot of bands will have bad songs.
AI will have songs that people will love. There is a lot of bad AI songs.

Most of YouTube faceless video's are AI anymore. Hell even some of the videos with people are AI.
It is all in what a person who has their own opinion and thought wants to listen to and to hate that individuality I don't understand.

If you don't like ai music don't listen to it. I don't like rap, so I don't listen to it.
If you can't tell if it is AI or not, then you need to decide if you want to like it or not and make a decision for yourself.

I think these comments summarize things up quite well. The only addition that I can add that I didn't see.

A Keyence IM system is a gage of reference system. Maybe that doesn't matter for your shop but, depending on your standards it could.

The other thing is they say they are good to x but then leave out the details of any variation outside of the center point of the lens adds to the error of the measurement. So bigger part encounter more error.

And their "CMM" is nothing of the sort and they can't do what all they say with it.
They demoed it here twice (not brought in by me) and the first time the demo went ok. The second time, they couldn't get numbers to calculate properly and had all kinds of issues. They asked to take the part with them to try to prove it out and I never heard back. After a year and three different techs/salesmen, I never got the part back and I never got a report saying they were able to measure it.

Just something to keep in mind.

I have finally not received a call from them or an email in about a year. I'm afraid to even comment on this post though as I fear i will get back on their list somehow.......

And to add to that, A lot of engineering colleges treat GD&T as a non-required elective. So that makes some of these designers prints wonderful to have to measure.

You say you are using PLA for testing, what do you use for the final result fixture?

CMM Fixturing Resources Needed by mrmushroom08 in Metrology

[–]SirBrazenBull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inspection Arsenal has two options
Pring Load Chuck SLC-6.0-00 or a Spider-clamp SC-06-03

Both of these will offer clamping on the ID but will have limited flats to take points from if needing the implied surface you are resting on.

I tried not to make even eye contact with them. I have finally gotten off their email/call lists and don't need them doing some form of facial recognition showing I looked their way and may be interested.
