IMTS 2022 Conference: Creating Adaptable Solutions to Improve Workholding Efficiency
About the presentation
The COVID-19 pandemic and the pressure it’s placed on supply chains, hiring needs, and skills training only exacerbated the inherent inefficiencies of existing approaches to workholding. Current workholding processes involve single-application aluminum soft jaws, introducing resource challenges, and requiring a significant amount of time, skill, and raw material before a single part is milled. Re-thinking traditional soft jaw processes to focus on adaptable solutions eliminates entire steps from an existing process, simplifying workflow and curtailing the time, effort, and cost expended in traditional workholding. In this presentation, you’ll learn how ground-breaking innovations in the CNC machining workflow have a huge impact on several pain points in the industry. Furthermore, you’ll see how allowing lean in-house manufacturing operations and limiting vulnerability to supply chain disruptions will ultimately save your operation time and money.
