@stevendoesburg6555 11 месяцев назад

Great to see all of the progress you’ve made! On the ec-400 you might be able to cut down on the duplicate pallets by running a higher mix. Two types of part on one tombstone, 2 pallets each since you have them, and then two other parts on the next tombstone keeps the spindle running. You don’t need to swap between tombstones running all of the same part. Scale the number of pallets you make for a part by the volume you need, ie how often you need to run a pallet in a day. You will run in to a limit with the number of tools you can hold in the toolchanger, which is where the business case for tool changers with several hundred pockets start to make sense. You trade off capex on duplicate workholding for capex on larger toolchangers which is not bound to a specific part or part revision.

@user-dm2ix7xg3t 11 месяцев назад

Great Job. I’m surprised you did not part your accumulator in segments. Having it turning in sequence filling one segment after the other. So, you could make quality checks in the morning and if there is a problem go through the batches until the problem is no longer there. KR Jens

@PiersonWorkholding 11 месяцев назад

Interesting but not necessary. If the part is within tolerance for 12 hours, it'll be within tolerance for 12 more.

@kevind1865 11 месяцев назад

@AnthonyGriz 7 месяцев назад

Jay, at the 6:43 mark you talk about the Quartz Rod, which I found pretty cool. What also caught my eye was that you had what looks like you cut up some black foam board and filled in the unused T-slots. A simple and cost effective lean solution to keep the slots clean, and I'd imagine far quicker and easier for parts cleanup - a nice touch!

@PiersonWorkholding 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! That black foam is what we use in our packaging. It's closed cell and coolant resistant and works great!

@AnthonyGriz 6 месяцев назад

That's awesome to hear. That will be something for me to add in once I move from my router to a new cnc mill. @@PiersonWorkholding

@TheDayzman 11 месяцев назад

Why make 8 of each pallet for the EC? Just put your 2 first op and 2 second op pallets you already have on one tombstone, take them out and reload them ergonomically on the bench while the machine is running another product. You still geht two finished pallets per cycle and have no extra cost in storing, managing and making the extra pallets. Plus the machine is running the whole time anyways because it has a pallet pool. IMO you gain nothing but complexity with switching loaded pallets on the tombstone instead of reloading the pallets of the tombstone. Thanks for all of your content and your work educating the industry.

@PiersonWorkholding 11 месяцев назад

That is a fine approach for a day shift, but horizontals pay for themselves when you load them up for an overnight run.

@ErnestDuarte 11 месяцев назад

Hey I like your tombstone setup man! We have been using the setup with the 12 mini pallets on our tombstone and it's been awesome.

@PiersonWorkholding 11 месяцев назад

If that's the case, Texas and Tennessee are a couple bad states Dell picked for headquarters and distribution.

@trevoradams8675 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tour! The roto rack looks like a good budget friendly solution. Has me wondering how it might be possible to fabricate something similar for even less powered by a simple Arduino. Hmmm Might give that more thought for my little shop. Cheers!

@merseyless 11 месяцев назад

Something like an industrial timer would work for you. The industrial control systems version of an Arduino is a PLC if you want a challenge. The price is a bit higher, but all the relays and IO protection are built in which will save you in the long run.

@PiersonWorkholding 11 месяцев назад

I thought the same thing but decided to buy vs make. At this stage in business, I value my team's time more than the cost associated with starting from scratch. Rewind 5 yrs and we probably would have gone the PLC route.

@trevoradams8675 11 месяцев назад

That makes good sense. Time is valuable for sure. I’m still a lonely one man show it might make sense for me. but I hope to be there someday too. Thanks for sharing! 😁

@Meyerwoodworks 11 месяцев назад

That's exactly what Grimsmo has on his Tornos. It's a 3D printed rotary with multiple trays.

@ludacrips76 11 месяцев назад

Jay, I assume the maps micro will be a direct fit to the rotovise in the future? Also what bolt patterns come standard on it? I'd assume it can both bolt to the trt210 standard platter and the t slot version. Thanks much.

@PiersonWorkholding 11 месяцев назад

The bolt hole pattern is 5.51" (140mm) which bolt directly to the TRT210 faceplate or any 4 or 6 slot rotary face.

@adammiller4879 11 месяцев назад

That first vise is absolutely awesome for a 3 axis! Need to get my work to buy a couple dozen of these, we’re still just using plain old kurt vices for everything even if we have hundreds of parts

@PiersonWorkholding 11 месяцев назад

Yes please get them to buy better workholding. A $300 single station vise in a $50,000 machine crushes my soul. It's like putting minivan tires on a Ferrari.

@adammiller4879 11 месяцев назад

@@PiersonWorkholding I would if I could, it’s big, big company, nothing is done the way it should, and there’s only so much suggestion a little worker like me can do. Love your videos. I always try to implement lean ways into my work when allowed, copy exact with semiconductor parts is rough.

@rlockwood2 11 месяцев назад

MAPS is probably not ideal as a name, especially when combined with a number- DMG/Mori has had a line of MAPPS control overlays for years.

@PiersonWorkholding 11 месяцев назад

Great point. MAPS is a working title and we'll finalize the name at launch.

@user-mq3tj9yb9e 11 месяцев назад

Very interested in the PPS vise set up....Will you also offer a model rotated 90 degrees? Both of my PPS bases are long ways on the X axis.

@PiersonWorkholding 10 месяцев назад

It's a possibility but capacity would be reduced.

@richhuntsd12 11 месяцев назад

Wow, really nice setup Jay. I really like these kind of videos. I have a quick question. When You setup your computer stations I noticed they are on a rolling cart. Do You do a small rubber cord with a cat 5 and 120volt power to the cart location or what? As usual very cool video. I want to check out several of your new products. Than You for sharing.

@PiersonWorkholding 11 месяцев назад

Good question. In short, we run a cord to a small battery backup (UPS). This gives us plenty of time to unplug and move to the next location without having to power down/up. Computers are on WiFi but we post programs to a network server that the machines are hardwired to.

@hectordominguez7143 11 месяцев назад

I'd be really interested in seeing how you moved that part to the puma especially how it transfers a non round shape to the sub spindle! I feel like we are under utilizing our lathe where I work.

@brianwaayenberg3099 11 месяцев назад

I would like to see the transfer jaw/collet method. I have a flat square product that would benefit from a sub spindle. Just exploring the lathe possibilities for purchase now for it /plan workflow/tooling/work holding

@clkeck1 11 месяцев назад

2nd opp is easy. Just machine an emergency collet to grab the outside of the part. You do have to watch orientation in regards to collet split lines and sometimes add radial clearance to any undercuts so it can open

@PiersonWorkholding 11 месяцев назад

We cut the part's profile into a machinable collet. From there, it's just a matter of entering the angular offsets in the control to get the part and collet to align.

@gtscientific_and_manufacturing 11 месяцев назад

I have a 2 jaw chuck with machineable jaws on my sub to do this.

@willch1987 11 месяцев назад

Min 12:11 ''....this really cut down a lot of wasted motion of walking back and forth''......I hope it works for you, as for others it has not...there is this famous Japanese company which did the same thing many years ago (moved coffee machines close to the working islands within their factory for precisely the same reason like yours). Six months later they moved them back to the end of their building, as productivity dropped a lot within those 6 months. Apparently, coffee was the second reason for workers to go to the coffee machines, the first one being that they could get to socialize with one another without their bosses seeing them. On the other hand , management style in Japan is completely different than the American one; the distance between bosses and workers in Japan is bigger (social status, respect - as perceived in their culture, etc) whereas you guys in America (European here) are much more informal, therefore no need for workers not to be seen by their boss while talking to one another.

@PiersonWorkholding 11 месяцев назад

Good points! The culture of Pierson Workholding is one that celebrates our failures because they put us one step closer to success. I'll keep everyone updated how this works. BTW, coffee makers and height gauges are culturally apples and oranges.

17:00 I'm no rocket surgeon, but, couldn't you have just gotten a bigger bucket for $20 to $100....

@PiersonWorkholding 11 месяцев назад

Bigger bucket only solves half the problem. We don't want parts landing on each other. It happens every now and then but not every single part.

@joearledge1 11 месяцев назад

@@PiersonWorkholding add a ramp leading into the bucket from the belt... first few parts should come to rest on the ramp from the belt and slowly get pushed into the bucket/box. No hard part on part impacts, just gentle pushing similar to the solution y'all purchased. Long as there is sufficient room to hold all the parts made from the time you leave to the time you get back, then no worries of overflow.
