Tormach Inc. | Workholding Technique - Setting Zero for Efficient Manufacturing @tormachinc | Uploaded June 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Every little second counts when trying to improve efficiencies in lean manufacturing. Most parts are held in a vise, and step jaws are the way to go for the majority of first operations. Traditionally, most people automatically sets the Z-offset to the top of the part, but Jason Pulvermacher prefers to set the zero on the back, bottom left. This saves a lot of time when moving onto the second and third operation. He'll then set the workpiece into the vise with a work stop or the end of the jaw, so then he has a consistent reference location for the next operations. Dog bones are also great to create a reference point for multiple operations.
Jason's technique can save you a lot of valuable time, especially if you are running multiple parts.
