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.

Marvo Technologies B.V. is a specialised metal-turning company in the city of Tilburg, in the Netherlands. Typical batch quantities can extend to 10,000 to 15,000 or more workpieces from a range on materials from aluminium to hardened steel.

On completion of an investigation of many CAD-CAM systems in 2008, Marvo ordered the highest level OneCNC Lathe system, CYB and implemented it in January 2009. A wide range of machine configurations made the choice of a CAD-CAM system a little difficult. With OneCNC Marvo are now making reliably, efficient programs for all their machines, and new orders have been undertaken which would have been previously impossible to produce.

‘We looked at other systems, some costing 2-3 times the cost of OneCNC, but in the important aspects of how we work, they did not offer more than OneCNC …..and quite often very much less. OneCNC is working above our expectations, we are very pleased.’

Seen in this video is the Gildemeister 42T Linear running a test part in aluminium.

At Ramjet Tooling we have realized that our most important assets are our employees and of course our customers. Our Toolmakers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our company and this is why when we were looking at a cad cam system, there was no real question. Our designer / programmer has been using OneCNC for many years. I remember the first version of OneCNC that I started with, it came on a 5 ½ floppy and was loaded on a 486 running Dos Michael says. OneCNC has grown so much from those early days and so have the programmers that use it.

This sort of experience gives us the confidence to allow us to run our Vmc and EDM unmanned as much as we possibly can in conjunction with our web cameras. Below we show a picture from one of our cameras that we monitor from home so that our machines can run long programs unattended.

All this means we make a lot of electrodes for our EDM and do a lot of extremely fine cavity finishing which can take up to 10 hrs at a time to run. It is extremely important to us to be able to run our machines over night to utilize these hours

Our confidence in OneCNC and our web cameras allow us to do this though you need to be sure your program is good if you want to sleep at night. To date we haven't had a problem.

We look forward to the continued support from OneCNC which we have received to date. With the forum and the technical support they give, we don't believe we can go wrong.
