WESTEC 2009 was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center March 30, to April 02, 2009.

This was a very successful show for OneCNC and it was pleasing to see so many OneCNC customers visit the booth as it is always good to put a face to the voice. It was also pleasing to have so much positive feed-back concerning OneCNC products first hand from users. It is this information that greatly helps in providing valuable "real use" information necessary for efficient continual product development.

The show was attended by the following OneCNC staff Patrick from OneCNC West, Michael from OneCNC USA, Bob from OneCNC Australia and assisted by Ward from WMS USA.

Above we see Michael OneCNC USA (second Left) demonstrating OneCNC and Patrick OneCNC West (second from Right) explaining te advantages of OneCNC and how it could improve their efficiency.

Below we see Ward from WMS chatting and providing tips to a OneCNC Customer. This customer who has had quite a few years of experience using various CAM openly stated that OneCNC was the first that he could press start and walk away from the machine while it machined. He explained that he had far too many surprises using other CAM to be out of reach of the machine control.

Since 1992, van Kronenburg, and KMS (Kronenburg Management systems) are well known names in the car-racing world. The first 5 years, activities were from a small garage in the centre of Geldrop. After a while it became apparent that larger premises were needed, and John van Kronenburg relocated to a new industrial zone on the border of Geldrop.

Since 1 January 1999,van Kronenburg Autosport is settled in a  450 m2 building which offers space for all the activities necessary for professional tuning on cars. The following equipment is present: rolling-road, dyno, flow-bench, well- equipped workshop and a fully-stocked warehouse.

Since 2008, van Kronenburg Autosport is also offering CNC machining as part of its services, supported by CNC machines in-house and OneCNC software.

Van den Wildenberg Metaalbewerking is also, since 2005, a user of OneCNC software. Niek van den Wildenberg has extensive experience in all sorts of machining, but particularly high-speed 3D in Aluminium. Currently using OneCNCXR3 Mill Expert and the XR3 Mill 4th axis module, Niek is putting his experience to good use.

"CHW seems to get all of those harder jobs that no one else wants to do".

We specialize in high temperature metals; the inconels, waspalloys, haspalloys, and we run a lot of titanium. We don’t just do this once in a while, we run those kinds of metals all day every day and I have for thirty years; I think we got a pretty good handle on them, how to handle them, and what happens to them. Most of my clients are in the aerospace industry. We make a lot of jet engine parts, parts for rocket motors, space shuttle work, and rocketry work. This is where a lot of the high temperature metals come in.

I find that the newer and cleaner graphics of OneCNC are liked by my younger computer savvy guys, and it helps their transition into CAD/CAM programming by having these new graphics styles carry over into their programming software, it makes them better programmers.

We have always striven to be the best at what we do, to do it right and be better than anyone else and I can honestly say that after being a OneCNC owner for almost 2 years, that this software has been a very large contributor for us in making more money on a job than we’ve ever done.

I have reprogrammed many jobs since having OneCNC thinking to myself “Oh man I can really save some programming time on that job now” especially with the new XR3.  I have re-programmed jobs with XR3 that I knew were running okay but wasn’t exactly happy with.

I have redone them in XR3 and said “That’s it…that’s the program that I really wanted!”
