Molnar machine, founded in 1995 out of Lynnville, TN by Jeff Molnar, specializes in inspection gages, assembly jigs and fixtures, as well as a wide variety of close tolerance partmaking.

I have been in the machining and manufacturing environment since 1978, and have seen the increasing need to stay attuned to the changes that have taken place over 30 years.  When I started my machine shop in 1995, there was no question that CNC machines were needed to stay competitive. With this type of technology, I was able to keep 3 or more machines running at the same time with only myself working. This is truly a “HIGH” for most machinists. CNC machines are a must for industry today, and just as important or perhaps even more important is owning the correct CAM software. One that allows importing of customer’s files without in glitches.

OneCNC has given me what I need to work with my customer’s drawings without any hiccups. We have Haas Lathes and Mills, and Hurcos and Prototracks, and we have the standard manual equipment and surface grinders and tooling. We work for a little bit of everybody, pretty generic. We work for the auto industry a little bit, different companies that make specialty one off parts like lights. We make dies for different companies, part holding jigs and fixtures, we components for specialty machine builders. I'm not at liberty to mention the company's names, but electronic companies, some computer companies we've made parts for, jigs and fixtures for them to hold parts and do welding. We're a pretty all around universal job shop.

Caption: An automated camera system. The bodies will have and integral gear system that drives wheels on the outside and will go through most anything. There will be an extend-able camera system on the front that can take videos or still shots of underground pipe systems, caves, etc. They may be looking for underground fires, dead people (or alive – hopefully), and various blockages in underground piping or sewer systems.

I taught at a technology school and was able to use a popular CAM in my instructing. While I had become quite familiar with using the product, I found to teach it was quite a task. I also new there were expensive maintenance fees with this software, along with some of the other CAM suppliers, that I just could not afford when opening my shop. All in all, I am very happy that I chose OneCNC and with their no maintenance costs required, it is an awesome deal.

I had a job requiring multiple 3D surfaces. After struggling for a couple of days and not being able to get it done with the leading CAM software that I was using, I contacted OneCNC. I told them if they could help me with this part efficiently and in a respectful amount of time, that I would purchase OneCNC.

Within an hour, via video conferencing, I was not only shown how to do it, but was given the post in order to make the part. It worked so well, that I purchased OneCNC immediately as promised. The down time really it wasn’t that bad. Within a couple of days I could do most or all 2D work. The 3D work also came within a week or so. As with any software, the more that you use it, the better that you become. OneCNC has yet to let me down! I have dealt with some very extensive drawings made in Solid Works and have yet to be unable to open and work with what I need.

OneCNC listens! Machinist’s who make recommendations regarding the improvement of this cam software are heard and it shows with the ever improving software. It continually gets better without the yearly maintenance fees.

Once again OneCNC UK participated in the "Manufacturing Efficiency" open day at the invitation of Haas Automation on Thursday 21st May 2009 at the AMRC Sheffield, UK.

The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with Boeing, is located at The Advanced Manufacturing Park, Wallis Way, Catcliffe, Rotherham, S60 5TZ , UK.

It is a collaboration between world-leaders in the aerospace supply chain, key government offices and international academic institutions supporting the growth and success of high performance engineering and manufacturing companies and individuals throughout the region.

This is a great venue and the perfect opportunity for OneCNC UK to showcase OneCNCXR3 and in particular the High Speed machining real-time on a Haas machine to invited guests.

Above we see Peter, OneCNC UK Technical Director (Right) demonstrating OneCNCXR3 to the invited guests.

The theme of the day was a focus on increasing your productivity with live cutting demonstrations on the latest American CNC Technology.

Visit the AMRC website and view their amazing facilities.

EASTEC 2009 was held at Eastern States Exposition Grounds, Western Springfield, MA USA May 19-21, 2009. In attendance for OneCNC was Michael (OneCNC USA) Ward (WMS USA) Kanasha (OneCNC USA) promoting the OneCNCXR3 range of products.

Manufacturers were invited to come by and see the much talked about OneCNCXR3 HS machining efficiency tool paths. OneCNC is now in the second year of producing this new time saving technique in CNC machining and manufacturers are pleased to have the ability to utilize the entire flute length of the cutting tool saving both time and money.

OneCNC HS tool path technology is included in all OneCNCXR3 milling products at no extra cost.

EASTEC 2009 provided another opportunity for OneCNC Showcase CNC manufacturing efficiency at minimum cost to assist manufacturers.
