Authors: Huda Miftakul
Published: January 2020

Lean Six Sigma is a collective approach, which uses various techniques and tools for quality improvement. Here, Lean Six Sigma methodology was applied to a small injection molding unit (which can be taken as representative of small and medium-size industries) manufacturing casing of electronics part. The DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) approach of Lean Six Sigma was applied to reduce the rejection rate of the casing (child part of an electronic product) by changing setting parameters: mold temperature, injection pressure and injection speed in the injection mold process. The statistical techniques such as DOE full factorial experiment, and process capability analysis were done to finding the process capability before and after the Lean Six Sigma implementation. After implementing the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC approach it was found that injection molding firms can increase their profit by increase yield rate and deleting rejection rate of casing part. Lean Six Sigma implementation increase the process sigma level from 4,3σ to 4,7σ by a reduction in casing flow mark variation and transparency. This increase in sigma level will give defect cost reduction to the industry which is a good figure for such an industry. 

Abstrak

Lean Six Sigma adalah pendekatan kolektif, yang menggunakan berbagai teknik dan alat untuk peningkatan kualitas. Di sini, metodologi Lean Six Sigma diterapkan pada unit injection molding kecil (yang dapat dianggap mewakili industri ukuran kecil dan menengah) manufaktur casing part. Pendekatan DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) Lean Six Sigma diterapkan untuk mengurangi tingkat penolakan casing part (bagian anak dari produk elektronik) dengan mengubah tiga setting parameter: suhu mold, tekanan dan kecepatan injection dalam proses cetakan injeksi. Teknik statistik seperti DOE full factorial experiment,dan  analisis kemampuan proses dilakukan untuk menemukan kemampuan proses sebelum dan sesudah implementasi Lean Six Sigma. Setelah menerapkan pendekatan Lean Six Sigma DMAIC ditemukan bahwa perusahaan injection molding dapat meningkatkan keuntungannya dengan menaikan yield rate dengan mengendalikan tingkat penolakan casing part. Implementasi Lean Six Sigma meningkatkan tingkat sigma proses dari 4,3σ menjadi 4,8σ dengan mengurangi variasi flow mark dan transperancy. Kenaikan tingkat sigma ini akan memberikan pengurangan biaya akibat cacat ke industri yang merupakan contoh yang baik untuk industri semacam ini.

Authors: Supriyadi Supriyadi
Published: January 2020

The history of Western music, historically, has been changing for a long time; from one period to other period until the present day. In music, the chaging automatically changes its forms, styles, characteristics, harmony, and particularly its aesthetics values. Then, the changing triggers development. Dominantly the development is inluenced by two dominant aspects, i.e. internal aspect and external aspect. The music history said that the period of Middle Ages was influenced by political religion which was placed under Chatolic church authorization. Renaisance period was influenced by spirit of individualism and humanism, and also enthusiasm of anthropocentrism. The Barock era was shadowed by the political changing in Western Europe. The Classic dan Romantic period was shaded by the passion of territorial expansion and nationalism that was marked by Franch Revolution. After World War I and II the social changes were determined by the development of technology. It becomes significant factor. In musicology context, the development of technology has created several new music instruments. The relationship between internal and external aspect occurs correlative and the aesthetics values in music has been influenced by several aspects above. The existence of music is not caused by itself, but it influenced by another aspects.
MODUS DORIAN: SEBUAH ALTERNATIF BAGI PENCIPTAAN HYMN
Authors: Sema Daniel
Published: January 2020

In today's Indonesian churches there are two types of music in worship, namely: hymnal songs or hymn (which are still used in mainstream Protestant churches) and contemporary Christian songs (used in Pentecostal and Charismatic churches). Nevertheless, contemporary Christian singing began to be accepted by some Protestant Christians and its existence increasingly dominated and urged the hymn. In order for the hymn to not be easily abandoned and felt contemporary, the author offers a new alternative to the creation of the hymn that has based itself on the major-minor mode for centuries. The alternative is the use of church mode, namely the Dorian mode as the basis for the creation or arrangement of a hymn. For this reason, the author tries to present a hymn arrangement for the song "Holy, Holy, Holy" by Reginald Heber in the SATB format in Dorian mode.
EXOTIC SCALE DALAM LINTASAN SEJARAH
Authors: Sema Daniel
Published: January 2020

Exotic scale (exotic or foreign scales) is a scale that is not covered by Western musical traditions that is outside the major and minor systems. The number of notes in an exotic scale can be less than one octave (for example pentatonic scale) or can be more (for example octatonic scale). Exotic scales are also used to refer to certain cultural scales, for example the Persian or Hungarian scales, or certain composer finding scales, for example whole tone scales, or scales borrowed from types of capital music, such as jazz or world music . This is because these types of music do not heed the tuning system, melodic forms and aesthetic principles of Western tradition. The exotic scales basically existed long before the birth of major and minor systems. For the composer of the twentieth century the sound of this unique exotic scale became the main attraction after more than three hundred years lost by the dominance of the major-minor (1600-1900). In fact, there is now a tendency for exotic scales to be used by musicians to show the composer's identity.

Published: January 2020

The entry of various new cultures in the modern era led to the depletion of love for traditional cultures that were considered ancient. The purpose of this paper is to overcome the problems of society in the modern era which began to leave traditional values. The modern era which is marked by industrialization also fills the form of education. A form of education that prioritizes technical-practical abilities so as to sacrifice ethical-humanistic values. This form of education results in the reduction of human values. An education is needed that can foster students' awareness to love, respect, and appreciate existing cultural heritage so that it is not lost because it has been eroded by modernization. Arts education with conservatism ideology is the answer to that problem. In practice, art learning is carried out in appreciation and artistic creations on traditional values, which aim to preserve and preserve existing culture, so that the culture remains intact even in the midst of the swift currents of modernization.
Aristokrat dan Lembaga Adat sebagai Aktor Penengah (Intermediary Actors) di Kabupaten Sumbawa
Authors: Permana Yogi
Published: January 2020

Pasca desentralisasi, dalam perpolitikan lokal di Indonesia berkembang fenomena baru, yaitu penguatan identitas lokal. Salah satu contoh menguatnya identitas lokal adalah bangkitnya lembaga adat seperti kerajaan dan lembaga adat lainnya. Pada saat yang sama, desentralisasi juga meningkatkan kehadiran aparatur negara, terutama di pulau-pulau terluar Indonesia. Birokrasi merepresentasikan kekuasaan negara pun mendominasi kepemimpinan politik di daerah-daerah tersebut. Kabupaten Sumbawa di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat adalah contoh daerah pulau terluar yang mengalami peningkatan masif keberadaan aparatur negara dan kebangkitan identitas lokal pada saat yang bersamaan. Birokrat di sana mendominasi kepemimpinan formal maupun informal. Sementara itu, kelompok bangsawan lokal membangkitkan semangat kerajaan dengan merevitalisasi Lembaga Adat Tana Samawa (LATS). Dalam dokumen resminya, LATS dimaksudkan sebagai aktor penengah yang memediasi antara pemerintah daerah dan masyarakat. Oleh sebab itu, muncul pertanyaan apakah kehadiran LATS dengan modal simboliknya mampu memperkuat demokrasi lokal di Sumbawa sebagai penyeimbang kepemimpinan politik yang selama ini dimonopoli oleh birokrat. Artikel ini akan mengelaborasi sejauh mana kehadiran LATS di Sumbawa dapat memperkuat demokrasi lokal di tengah derasnya pertumbuhan aparatur negara.

Background: Trochanteric fractures are extra-joint fractures, account for 55% of femoral proximal fractures. They often happen in the elderly with increased frequency due to age. Treatment experiences at 7A Military Hospital showed increased trochanteric fracture cases. To properly assess treatment effectiveness and select proper treatment methods, the study of “Evaluation of initial treatment of trochanteric fractures using gamma nails at 7A Military Hospital and made the conclusions of indications and applied techniques” was carried out.

The study objectives are evaluating the initial treatment of trochanteric fractures using gamma nails at 7A Military Hospital and made the conclusions of indications and applied techniques.

Methods and findings: nineteen patients diagnosed with traumatic trochanteric fractures and surgically treated with Gamma nails were monitored and evaluated for bone fusion, bone union, range of motion, limb shortening, and functional rehabilitation according to Merle D'Aubigné scale.

Fourteen patients (82.35%) achieved proper bone union with the femoral neck-shaft angle of 1250 - 1300, three patients (17.65%) got slightly deviated bone union. Amongst patients aged under 60, 14/17 cases (82.35%) achieved “good” and “very good” functional rehabilitation, scored over 15 points according to Merle D΄aubigne Index; 3/17 cases (17.65%) got “average” recovery. Hip range of motion in 14 cases (82.35%) achieved “very good” (normal movement) or “good” (over 10% movement limitation) outcome, 3 cases had “average” movement (17.65%). Limb shortening of below 1cm took place in 10 patients (58.82%), 1 – 2 cm in 4 patients (23,53%) and over 3 cm in 3 patients (17.65%).

Published: January 2020

Parmi les tablettes paléo-babyloniennes de la collection Schøyen publié par A. R. George dans CUSAS 36 en 2018, quatre lettres ont trait à l’administration royale de la terre dans la région de Larsa, et mentionnent Sin-iddinam et Šamaš-hazir. Après étude, il s’avère que ces lettres révèlent trois types de correspondance jusqu’alors non attestés : la correspondance active de Šamaš-hazir, le šassukkum du domaine royal de Hammu-rabi de Babylone, la correspondance passive de certains de ses arpenteurs, enfin la correspondance active d’un Sin-iddinam, qui fut vraisemblablement un šassukkum du temps du royaume de Larsa, en poste à Ur. Il est à distinguer de Sin-iddinam, le gouverneur de la province du Yamutbalum à l’époque de Hammu-rabi, qui est peut-être lui même mentionné dans une cinquième lettre.

Published: January 2020

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Some patients complain of a foreign body sensation, a burning sensation, or dryness after strabismus surgery. We prospectively investigated the changes in corneal and conjunctival sensitivity, tear film stability, and tear secretion after strabismus surgery.

Patiente and Methods: Corneal and conjunctival sensitivity were assessed with an esthesiometer, tear film breakup time was measured, and the Schirmer test was performed prospectively (preoperatively and 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively) in 83 patients (124 eyes) who underwent strabismus surgery at our institution.

Resulte: There were no significant changes in corneal sensitivity, tear film stability, or tear secretion after strabismus surgery (P > .05). Conjunctival sensitivity decreased significantly after strabismus surgery (P < .05).

Conclusion: Discomfort and dryness after strabismus surgery do not seem to be related to changes in corneal sensitivity, tear film stability, or tear secretion.

Three’s company: A woman with rash, uterine mass and cystic lungs
Authors: Miranda Laura , Gilani Sarwat , Han Liying , Epelbaum Oleg
Published: January 2020

Cystic lung disease encompasses a wide variety of clinical entities, the diagnosis of which is sometimes straightforward and other times obscure.  To narrow the list of possibilities, it behooves the physician to consider the context in which the cystic lung disease is uncovered. Clues to the diagnosis might be provided by findings that are not initially obvious and are not located in the thorax. We describe an instructive case of a woman with cystic lungs detected during a search for malignancy prompted by a diagnosis of dermatomyositis. Malignancy was indeed uncovered in the form of endometrial carcinoma, the management of which eventually also established the etiology of cystic lung disease. In the discussion we attempt to connect the patient’s autoimmune disease, uterine cancer, and lung cysts. The potential interplay among these three components of her presentation makes for intriguing mechanistic speculation.
The quest for hermeneutics of appropriation as a thematic approach for critical biblical interpretation
Authors: Rugwiji Temba
Published: January 2020

This study attempts to promulgate a method called ‘hermeneutics of appropriation’ as a thematic approach of a scientific research. ‘Hermeneutics’ is not the same as ‘appropriation’; hermeneutics refers to a science of interpretation, whereas appropriation depicts an idea of adoption. Hermeneutics of appropriation employs themes (hence, thematic analysis) as opposed to contextual biblical hermeneutics that focuses largely on contemporary interpretation of biblical narratives. Thus, adopting the phrase ‘hermeneutics of appropriation’ presents the idea of a scientific interpretation of a theme that is applied in a differing context from which it originated. The present study aims at highlighting some dynamics that illustrate contextual biblical interpretation as a biased approach. Having presented such dynamics, the study will then suggest the employment of hermeneutics of appropriation in which relevant themes from the biblical text are utilised in a hermeneutical discourse. A dialogue with various previous contributions that conferred on contextual biblical hermeneutics will illuminate the above notion. With regard to hermeneutics of appropriation, representative examples of themes from the Judean postexilic context to be appropriated in the Zimbabwean postcolonial discourse comprises of two aspects: (1) geopolitical and socioeconomic crises and (2) Nehemiah’s social justice reforms. The latter consists of five subthemes: public hearing to rebuke the leadership, condemnation of usury, payment of tax, return of personal property to the owner and food donation to the needy.
Measuring the quality of primary care in national health surveys: Lessons from Brazil
Authors: Harzheim Erno , Pinto Luiz F. , D'Avila Otávio P. , Hauser Lisiane
Published: January 2020

Background: South Africa started to lead the cross-culturally validation and use of the Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCAT) in Africa, when Professor Bresick filled a gap, as this continent was until then the only one that had never used it in evaluation of primary health care facilities until 2015.Aim: The authors aim to demonstrate that after the consolidation of Bresick’s team to an African version of PCAT, it had been adapted to household survey in Brazil.Methods: In this letter, authors reflect on how Brazil had adapted PCAT to a national random household survey with Brazilian National Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) – the Brazilian Census Bureau.Results: In the the beginning of 2019, Brazilian Ministry of Health brought back the PCAT as the official national primary health care assessment tool. Brazilian National Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) included a new module (set of questions) in its National Health Survey (PNS-2019) and collected more than 100 000 households interviews in about 40% of the country’s municipalities. This module had 25 questions of the Brazilian validated version of the adult reduced PCAT.Conclusion: We believe that IBGE innovation with the Ministry of Health can encourage South Africa to establish a similar partnership with its National Institute of Statistics (Statistics South Africa) for the country to establish a baseline for future planning of primary health care, for decision-making based on scientific evidence.

In response to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan authorities’ request, a government finance statistics (GFS) mission visited Amman, Jordan during the period October 18–31, 2018 to provide technical assistance (TA) to further improve GFS compilation and dissemination, consistent with the Government Finance Statistics Manual 2014 (GFSM 2014) and developing GFS that can better support IMF surveillance. TA in GFS was previously provided to the Afghan GFS compilers in 2010 following the methodology of the GFSM 2001. The mapping from Afghanistan Financial Management Information System (AFMIS) to the classification of GFS and Classification of Functions of Government (COFOG) have come out of date, requiring review, and update in line with GFSM 2014. These have been the key reasons for the authorities discontinuing to produce GFS consistent with the GFSM 2014 methodology, while financial data has been produced on time according to the national methodology.

four COM wavelengths are 12.6 (470 nm), 12.0 (546 nm), 11.6 (589 nm) and
11.4 (650 nm). The Vickers hardness (VHN100) is 1141 kg mm−2,
corresponding to H=6.5–7, and the calculated density is 4.72(1) g cm−3. A mean of 10 electron microprobe analyses gave (wt %) CaO 23.67, FeO 3.75, Fe2O3 29.54, Sb2O5 39.81,
SnO2 2.22, ZnO 2.29, MgO 0.15, MnO 0.03 and CoO 0.03. The
crystal chemical formula calculated on the basis of a total of eight cations and
12 anions, and taking into account the available structural and
spectroscopic data, is (Ca2.97Mg0.03)Σ=3.00 (Sb1.735+Sn0.104+Fe0.173+)Σ=2.00(Fe2.433+Fe0.372+Zn0.20)Σ=3.00O12. The most significant chemical variations encountered in the
sample are related to a substitution of the type YSn4++ZFe3+→YSb5++ZFe2+. Mössbauer
data obtained at RT and 77 K indicate the presence of tetrahedrally
coordinated Fe2+. Raman spectroscopy demonstrates that there is no
measurable hydrogarnet component in monteneveite. The six strongest Bragg
peaks in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern are [d (Å), I (%),
(hkl)]: 4.45, 100, (220); 3.147, 60, (400); 2.814, 40, (420); 2.571, 80, (422);
1.993, 40, (620); 1.683, 60, (642). Monteneveite is cubic, space group
Ia-3‾d, with a=12.6093(2) Å, V=2004.8(1) Å3, and Z=8. The
crystal structure was refined up to R1=0.0197 for 305 reflections with
Fo>4σ(Fo) and 19 parameters. Monteneveite is
related to the other Ca-, Sb- and Fe-bearing, nominally Si-free members of
the bitikleite group, but it differs in that it is the only known garnet
species with mixed trivalent and divalent cations (2:1) at the tetrahedral
Z site. Textural and mineralogical evidence suggests that monteneveite formed during
peak metamorphism (at ca. 600 ∘C) during partial breakdown of
tetrahedrite-(Fe) by reactions with carbonate, under relatively oxidizing
conditions. The mineral is named after the type locality, the Monteneve
(Schneeberg) mine.
Spatiotemporal assimilation–interpolation of discharge records through inverse streamflow routing
Authors: Fisher Colby K. , Pan Ming , Wood Eric F.
Published: January 2020

Abstract. Poorly monitored river flows in many regions of the world
have been hindering our ability to accurately estimate global water budgets
as well as the variability of the global water cycle. In situ gauging sites,
as well as a number of satellite-based systems, make observations of river
discharge throughout the globe; however, these observations are often sparse
due to, for example, the sampling frequencies of sensors or a lack of
reporting. Recently, efforts have been made to develop methods to integrate
these discrete observations to gain a better understanding of the underlying
processes. This paper presents an application of a fixed interval Kalman
smoother-based model, called inverse streamflow routing (ISR), to generate
spatially and temporally continuous river discharge fields from discrete
observations. The method propagates the observed information across all
reachable parts of the river network (up/downstream from gauging point) and
all reachable times (before/after observation time) using a two-sweep
procedure that first propagates information backward in time to the furthest
upstream locations (inverse routing) and then propagates it forward in time
to the furthest downstream locations (forward routing). The ISR methodology
advances prediction of streamflow in ungauged basins by accounting for a
physical representation of the river system that is not generally handled
explicitly in more-commonly applied statistically based models. The key
advantages of this approach are that it (1) maintains all the physical
consistencies embodied by a diffusive wave routing model (flow confluence
relationships on the river network and the resulting mass balance, wave
velocity, and diffusivity), (2) updates the lateral influx (runoff) at the
pixel level (furthest upstream) to guarantee exhaustive propagation of
observed information, and (3) works both with a first guess of initial river
discharge conditions from a routing model (assimilation) and without a first
guess (pure interpolation of observations). Two sets of experiments are
carried out under idealized conditions and under real-world conditions
provided by United States Geological Survey (USGS) observations. Results show
that the method can effectively reproduce the spatial and temporal dynamics
of river discharge in each of the experiments presented. The performance is
driven by the density of the gauge network as well as the quality of the data
being assimilated. We find that when assimilating the actual USGS
observations, the performance decreases relative to our idealized scenario;
however, we are still able to produce an improved discharge product at each
validation site. With further testing, as well as global application, ISR may
prove to be a useful method for extending our current network of global river
discharge observations.
Determining the Rooting Ability of Hardwood Cuttings of Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) cv. ‘Bluecrop’ Stored in Refrigerating Conditions
Authors: Braha Sabri , Rama Petrit , Zajmi Agim
Published: January 2020

This experiment has been carried out in order to determine the rooting ability of hardwood cuttings of the blueberry cultivar ‘Bluecrop’ collected during the deep dormant winter period in the last part of January. In order to induce the adventitious roots formation, the cuttings were stimulated using Indol Butyric Acid (IBA) and Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) in various concentrations (1500, 3000, 4500 ppm), whilst one row in each box remained intact (control).  The collection of cuttings off the mother plant at the beginning of January enable the nutrients and other matter that help the process of rooting not to move from the base of cutting towards the top and consequently they remain at the base of cutting which results with quite a high rooting percentage (up to 72.5%) compared to the cuttings collected in February with rooting percentage of 67.5% and in March (52%). In both types of substrate, turf and turf-perlite 2:1 and in different time periods when cuttings have been collected, IBA proved to be better in inducing adventitious roots compared to NAA.
Symptomatic Narcolepsy/Cataplexy in a Dog with Brainstem Meningoencephalitis of Unknown Origin
Authors: Mari Lorenzo , Shea Anita
Published: January 2020

A 4 yr old, intact female cocker spaniel was presented for investigation of acute, progressive lethargy/hypersomnia; vestibular signs; and cataplexy. A narcolepsy-cataplexy episode with associated hypertension and bradycardia was triggered during examination. There was no evidence of arrhythmia on electrocardiography during the episode. Hematology, serum biochemistry, and thoracic and abdominal imaging were unremarkable. MRI of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid analysis were compatible with meningoencephalitis of unknown origin affecting the mesencephalon, pons and rostral medulla oblongata. The dog was started on immunosuppressive treatment with prednisolone and cytosine arabinoside, which was subsequently switched to cyclosporine. Narcolepsy-cataplexy episodes could initially still be triggered by offering food; however, they gradually became shorter and less frequent until they completely subsided along with all other clinical signs after 3 wk. No relapse occurred over a 32 mo follow-up period from the diagnosis. Repeated MRI revealed marked reduction in the lesion size; cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed no abnormalities. Although very rare, symptomatic narcolepsy/cataplexy can occur in dogs and can be secondary to brainstem encephalitis. Cardiovascular changes can occur in association with narcolepsy/cataplexy and should be considered when dealing with patients presenting with these specific clinical signs.
Addison’s Disease Secondary to Bilateral Adrenal Gland Metastatic Mammary Carcinoma in a Dog

Published: January 2020

A 12 yr old intact female Siberian husky was referred with a 2 wk history of progressive weakness, paraparesis, anorexia, and panting. A 4 cm diameter grade 3 mammary solid carcinoma involving the fifth right mammary gland had been removed 2 days prior to the current visit. While hospitalized, the dog was diagnosed with Addison’s disease based on electrolyte disturbances and low serum cortisol levels following adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation test. An abdominal ultrasound revealed adrenal glands at the upper limit of normal size. Despite treatment, the dog deteriorated and died 4 days after presentation. A postmortem examination revealed a neoplastic infiltrate of epithelial malignant cells in both adrenal glands, popliteal lymph nodes, vertebral bodies, and paralumbar musculature, compatible with metastasis from mammary carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Addison’s disease secondary to metastatic mammary carcinoma in a dog.
Hybrid robust controller based on interval type 2 fuzzy neural network and higher order sliding mode for robotic manipulators

Published: January 2020

Industrial arms should be able to perform their duties in environments where unpredictable conditions and perturbations are present. In this paper, controlling a robotic manipulator is intended under significant external perturbations and parametric uncertainties. Type-2 fuzzy logic is an appropriate choice in the face of uncertain environments, for various reasons, including utilizing fuzzy membership functions. Also, using the neural network (NN) can increase robustness of the controller. Although neural network does not basically need to build its type-2 fuzzy rules, the initial rules based on sliding surface of higher order sliding mode controller (HOSMC) can improve the system's performance. In addition, self-regulation feature of the controller, which is based on the existence of the neural network in the central type-2 fuzzy controller block, increases the robustness of the method even more. Effective performance of the proposed controller (IT2FNN-HOSMC) is shown under various perturbations in numerical simulations.

Published: January 2020

Daylight is one of the most significant light source which could illuminate interior spaces by passing through windows and light collectors. Dust and aerosol accumulation on windowpanes reduce the light amount passing through it. The main objective of this research is to determine the impact of airborne particulate matters deposition on past light quantity. In this experiment the most prevalent particulate matters such as dust, carbon, and a mixture of both examined with 3 mm common commercial glasses at single and double glaze windowpanes and several interesting observations have been obtained. The result of this experiment will help building owners to adjust a window-cleaning schedule to reduce their lighting electricity consumption and expenses.

Published: January 2020

El Control Numérico Computarizado (CNC) es una tecnología que permite mediante el uso de una computadora controlar y monitorear los movimientos de una máquina herramienta. El Instituto Tecnológico Superior de San Andrés Tuxtla (ITSSAT) cuenta con una máquina herramienta fresadora CNC con tecnología europea adquirida por el gobierno del Estado en el 2003 para prácticas de los estudiantes de ingeniería. La máquina se encontraba obsoleta y sin funcionamiento, situación que provoco no hacer uso de la CNC en las prácticas durante un tiempo, ya que las industrias que las fabrican utilizan software con licencia y tarjetas electrónicas que tienen un costo elevado para su reparación. El presente artículo tiene como finalidad dar a conocer una metodología para la restauración y puesta en marcha de la máquina fresadora CNC sin necesidad de recurrir al fabricante. Los resultados muestran la metodología cuya principal función es la comunicación de la máquina CNC con la PC mediante la implementación del software alterno Mach 3 y la tarjeta electrónica LPT-Mach 3 logrando el funcionamiento de la máquina y con ello el fresado de materiales con fines académicos e industriales.
