CNC Setup Knowledge

Organise workholding, tooling and setup knowledge for recurring jobs.

Overview

The need it addresses

The Machine Setup Logbook is positioned to make it easier to find earlier successful setup and process information when the same job comes back. It organizes information that stays in the master machinist's memory, on paper or in scattered photographs through the relationship of product, operation, material and machine.

How does it work?

The target records include the clamping method, fixtures, tool list, reference points, setup notes, inspection points, first-piece approval, sample photographs and references to the relevant program or drawing. Problems experienced in earlier trials and changes that were made can also be linked to the approved information.

When the operator opens the relevant job, they reach the record valid for that machine and operation. A setup used on another machine or with a different material is not presented as the approved setup for the same job without explaining the conditions. Newly learned information is added to the current version after the responsible person's review.

The main job of this product is to preserve and reuse operation knowledge. The existing CAD/CAM or program archive can continue to be used. A value being present in the logbook does not mean that it is written to the machine automatically or that the machining program is prepared automatically.

Example use

For a part that returns after six months, the employee reaches the earlier clamping photograph, the fixture used, the tool notes and the first-piece inspection. When the job is tried again, the starting information has been preserved; the necessary inspections are still carried out.

Suitable industries

CNC shops, subcontract machining, mould making, automotive supply industry, machine manufacturing and businesses that produce similar parts again from time to time.
