Fixturing

Anyone have any good resources for fixturing? Besides going all out for a design engineering degree.

  • The big boss decided to do it hush hush, thinking that no one will find out. The big boss is friends with the vendor, that why he decided to use them as a "second party inspection ".

    We had a big meeting and I mentioned that the decision about sending the prg for verification to our vendor is missing logic and its a conflict of interest. The VP was shocked about this, he chewed big boss *** out, but that was it. The big boss is still doing stupid crap, whatever he wants and nothing happenes.

    There are a lot more stories like this, that will make your hair stand up.

    Ive been dealing with this kinda crap for a while now, and similar BS with the enginnering as well.

    One time The enginnering asked our vendor to help us with gd&t to dimension the drw as they see it fit. The enginnering claim that they were able to shave off 8hr of machining in result of the vendor modifiying the drw, so that it would be easier to machine!!!



    The parts were very complex and instead of designing the drw based on its functionality it was designed based on easier to machine!!

    They change all the datums, which made no sense and did not match the mating part scheme. It was lakie having two different art drawings, but they shaved off 8hr of machining!!!!


    Yup....sounds about like this place....lol.....but hey, you have to save time....everyone needs to get home a decent hour. And besides they shaved a days worth of work off of machining. GENIUS idea
