On this week's Pierson Workholding Fixture Friday, Jay looks at how to hold multiple parts with no clamps at all!

With the part we machined in this episode, if you look at it closely, it would require five setups using traditional vise workholding. But in this week's Fixture Friday, we look at how we palletized the second operation to get eight parts per cycle without using a single clamp. Let's get started!

Something not mentioned, but is a great idea that it looks like you've used: It appears that the dowel holes in the part are offset slightly from the centerline of the threaded hole. Poke yoke...it can't be loaded backwards :)

Love that you called this 'knifemaker style' fixturing lol. I have been machining G10 composite handle scales for my knives using this exact method for quite a few years. I have had ZERO issues with this style of clamping and it lets me produce handle scales where every single dimensional feature is done in one operation which is pretty amazing! I'm cutting the material to thickness and machining the underside features and clamping features in OP1 then I mount them to a pallet which is held onto the main fixture using Pitbull clamps in order to machine everything else in OP2. Works fantastically well! I don't have any features that are dimensionally critical on the backside, so I just use 2x 1/4-20 SHCS to hold them down and roughly position them on the pallet. Keep up the great videos Jay! -Aaron

Love the videos. Let's give the Rotovise some more love on this channel! I have the PPS and the Rotovise, and though they're both great products, the Rotovise is 100x more useful to *my* parts and part volumes. I think the PPS is really a winner with 3-axis work at volumes over 1000x per year, and almost nothing I make sees that volume at this time. But the Rotovise with the serrated jaws is transformative for reducing operations, still getting a solid number of parts in the machine at once, no custom fixturing expenses or time for each new setup, and it's also invaluable for prototyping and one-off work. If you do lower or medium volume work the Rotovise is a massive win, even if you don't need multi-axis -- just having more vises in the machine is great. Used in tandem with a Stop-loc ruler, you can't beat it for op1 mill work.

One tip for people still using the standard part-in-vise and having troubles with op2 mismatch or part damage from overclamping due to unskilled labor or operator error... use inexpensive torque wrenches and specify settings in your setup sheets.

@hampfi747 2 жыл бұрын

Great video. Very interesting ideas! So are you just machining the bottom features to clamp the part in op20? Why not machine the complex corner rounding features in op10 and then clamp the parts with softjaws for op20? I think that would be easier then screwing the parts again and you can safe the excess operations. Also if you mount the op20 clamps on the same tombstone as the op10 parts you could safe the other pallet completely and take out 4 finished parts ever time the setup is run.

@PiersonWorkholding 2 жыл бұрын

Give the video a second watch. We don't want to use a vise because of the problems I mentioned. First operation also handles 4 faces so the 5 axis machine is ideal and high-density workholding is perfect for the second op.

@MrNicknikolov 2 жыл бұрын

Would love to get into making more high density fixtures but most parts I am making (job shop) seem to either not have the quantity to offset the cost in the fixtures, or not lend themselves to a palletized design. excited for the day I get the right job to do so though!

The threads in this component are part of the design. We need them! :)

@CNC_Soup 2 жыл бұрын

Ok now i understand. The threaded hole is part of the design and functuon of the valve, not designed just to hold it, right?

@PiersonWorkholding 2 жыл бұрын

Correct. The threaded hole is for a cap to seal the cylinder. The two holes next to it are for fixturing only.
