Part loading for the first parts I am running on my new Brother R650x2

- At least it is making parts but there is a lot of room for improvement. I need a better shelf and a place to hang the hammer too, I forgot about it when making the tool rack.
The cycles are pretty short, it must be tiring to do this all day (assuming there's a bunch of parts to be done). Also tool changes are lightning fast. Awesome!
Yeah, it is but I now make 2.5 times more parts a day than I did with my single table mill and pallets so that helps me feel better about it. Once I switch over to pneumatic clamping I will be able to run the machine at it's limits, I have it throttled back quite a bit since I can't swap parts any faster.
@@cgpmachining Great video. Thanks for sharing. What pneumatic clamping system are you looking at? I run pallets full of parts and need something more efficient like pneumatic clamping as well.
@@ad20an89 For these parts I am going to put a rectangular piston under them to pull the wedges down vs driving the screws. I did this back when I only machined the ends and face so 1 op and done. The cycle was so fast that pallets didn't pencil out. I torque these screws to 10 in-lbs and my shells are not hardened so the teeth are not very sharp. With hardened shells and sharp teeth I can drop the torque around 25% and the parts still don't move.
@@cgpmachining Where are you going to source the rectangular pistons/actuators? I've been doing a deep dive into this lol. thanks.
@@ad20an89 I make most of my fixtures and related parts from scratch so I can design them exactly how I want. Are you on Practical Machinist or machinistboard.com?
That's fast, what type of clamps are those?
They are my version of Uniforce clamps. I always wanted to make changes to them and I finally started making my own about 7 years ago. The Op1 shells are steel with teeth so they really hold the parts well. I only hold onto .03" of the part for Op1 and couldn't do it with standard Uniforce clamps. I later found out that Stan's patent on them had pseudo teeth in the artwork so he was thinking of it too.
can you tell us what the parts are for??
You apply sandpaper tape on them to sharpen knives in a guided sharpener.
Newbie alert!!
Can't you use those pneumatic zero point base plates?
You would load the pallets (6/8/9 of them ) outside the machine and then just swap them out...
Thanks,
Jorge
It would be a waste of time and effort.
CMTeamCobra, I have no idea what happened to our posts, I didn't block them.
