On the Job with: Herb Vazquez
Written by OSG

Featured employee: Herb Vazquez
Title: Engineering/Production Control/Inspection Manager
Tenure with OSG: 25 years
For
Herb Vazquez, Engineering Manager at the OSG Parma Facility, his career hasn’t
been on one straight trajectory. It has been more like a jungle gym where you
can climb up to the next level using different paths to get where you want to
go. Herb has held 5 different positions in his 25 years at OSG. He served as a
production control coordinator, Engineer Assistant, Jr. Designer, Customer
Service Coordinator and Systems Engineering Manager prior to his current
position.
“Change
is good,” Herb said smiling. “Having been exposed to different facets of our
company has helped me understand our business from different perspectives,” he
added. With his diverse knowledge and experience, he is able to lead and assist
not only his engineering department, but also other departments to make OSG a
stronger team.
In
his personal life, Herb also has experienced a positive change a few years ago
when he became a father. “The entire experience of becoming a parent for the
first time has been the greatest occurrence in my life,” said Herb. “Even
during the most hectic days, I try to take time out to do something that
recharges my family battery.” Herb and his family enjoy traveling to see the
different parts of the world. “Stepping outside of your comfort zone by going
to unfamiliar destinations is a liberating experience unlike any other,” said
Herb. “Our new goal is to learn and explore new cultures.”

OSG Introduces New Thread Milling NC Code Generator Software
Written by OSG
We announced the release of ThreadPro, OSG's latest thread milling NC code generator software.
Generating
codes for complex machining couldn’t be easier with ThreadPro, which has
eliminated the hassle of having to “enter data as text, copy and replace.” The
configuration of multiple paths, which was not adjustable before, has been
greatly simplified to enable the easy creation of zero cut programs. In addition
to multiple feed (machining at each cutting edge length), single feed (1 pitch
per cut) is also available, which is ideal for machining high hardness
materials. Last but not least, with the capability to review machining
trajectory, trouble-free tool movement can be confirmed to minimize tool
damage.
The
new ThreadPro is available in 12 different languages and supports eight NC
programming languages. The software incorporates “RPRG” value to reduce setup,
machining time and achieve stable tool life.
