Any fixture builder/checkers in here?

I mainly program for fixing fixtures we build. Just wondering how everyone else does their stuff.

Do you guys cut your details as assemblies or individual pieces? Which works better? We do individual details, but that seems to cause a lot of issues by the time the fixtures hit CMM.

When you guys program do you try to minimize tip changes or program block to block?

  • We calibrate jigs. fixtures and gages. Probe changes are a pain but like Mike stated, we might calibrate a fixture or gage once and never see it again and we spend whatever time is necessary to get it measured correctly. If I have to bounce back n forth between probes so be it.
