There are some very obvious ways to reduce setup times on your cnc equipment. In my opinion, some of the most obvious reasons setups take so long:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. no setup documentation (setup sheets)<\/li>\n
  2. tools not specified prior to release to floor<\/li>\n
  3. looking for inserts<\/li>\n
  4. proper torx wrenches-standard or plus<\/li>\n
  5. proper collet sizes<\/li>\n
  6. time wasted looking for drills, taps, endmills etc.<\/li>\n
  7. operator not trained on setup techniques<\/li>\n
  8. setup items not standardized<\/li>\n
  9. consider doing a 5S !!!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Nice idea for a setup cart for a cell or department.<\/p>\n

    Best practice to organize jaw inventory.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Use your 3 jaw chuck to hold 5C collets if you need some fast changeover on short run lots. You will need to bore the jaws to the contour of the collet shape but this is a nice quick way to run thru multiple setups in a quick fashion.<\/p>\n

    To add table space and reduce setups on a small to medium vertical mill you can add a 4th axis to the machine. You can configure these in different fashions to meet your production needs. Here are a few ideas for using the 4th axis to reduce your setup time on a mill.<\/p>\n
