![]() “The first set of parts sent for testing were within 10 microns of the actual drawing specifications,” says Mr. Such attention to detail pays off in the accuracy of the finished product. ![]() It sometimes took 2 hours to dial it up.” Because large temperature changes would alter the setup dimensions, MPPM has a temperature-controlled atmosphere, and the machines are run up to operating temperature before machining the parts. Accuracy concerns led the customer to specify that the part be flipped in the vise to machine each side rather than using a fourth axis, which was “hair-raising,” Mr. Those surfaces enabled him to clamp the part in a vise and establish datum points. Cotton ground the ceramic stock to a zero-tolerance surface on two sides. The second year, we went to 80 percent machining and our watch side went to 10 to 20 percent-a huge change in 1 year.īefore machining the contours, Mr. The first year, we were doing probably 80 percent clock work and 10 to 20 percent different machined parts. “But what I didn’t realize was that the scope of these machines is huge. “Once we set up all the tools in the toolchanger, a gear that took me about 45 minutes on our benchtop machine dropped off the new mill every 8 minutes,” he says. ![]() Cotton was immediately pleased with the Haas machine. The new tool has been ‘lasered’ as being exactly the correct size.” Branching Out When grinding a ceramic part, he says, “We put 20 tools in the carousel and tell the machine to run for 1 hour and then change the tool. Cotton uses the tool probe to adjust offsets to minimize scrap as tools wear and to ensure that replacement tools cut identically. “It sets every tool to the same standard,” he explains. Cotton had a Renishaw laser toolsetting probe installed on the office mill. “I had to set aside my watchmaking, which took some working through,” Mr. “I had some memory loss, and lost my fine motor skills.” When much of your work takes place under a 10- to 20-power loupe, losing your fine motor skills is a life-changing event. “I suffered some minor brain damage,” he explains. Cotton’s life took an unexpected and near-disastrous turn, when his car was T-boned as he drove to work in Edmonton. Cotton also continued his training during this time, taking courses at Rolex Geneva, Rolex Australia and Rolex Toronto. He worked as a self-employed watch and clock repairman in Edmonton, Alberta, established his own clock and watch shop in New Zealand, contracted with various jewelers and watch shops in Alberta, and set up the complete Rolex Service Center at Diamori Fine Jewelers in Edmonton. Cotton plied his trade as a watchmaker on two continents: New Zealand and Canada. ![]() The charges above are applicable for labor only.Choosing the Right Machine for Turned and Milled Medical Partsįor the next 15 years, Mr. All above charges are exclusive of taxes.
