fixturing/ clamping

What are you all using to hold your parts? We are cheap hot glue it is.

  • Most of my parts are magnetic, so I use a lot of magnets and circular mag chucks.

    I drag in my part model along with whatever fixturing I have onto a model of my CMM plate. Recall an external alignment, turn on DCC mode, then go to work.

    Detailed setup pics, this plate, and good CAD models have enabled me to set it up to where my operators only have to touch the jogbox for like two of my programs (the rest all run by themselves).
