I personally think titan is one of best machinists I have seen.i always watvh his videos and the parts he machines is beautiful.i have been a cnc machinist since I left the school so been 20 years.sorry to hear about your legs.it is an amazing feeling knowing you have machined a part from raw material to the drawing specs and its perfect.TITAN is KING with the videos and work he does.would love to work in his machine shop

SOLD! I just bought the VERO system for both my DEM and the DVF. A 3-station for the DEM, and 1-station for the DVF. Thanks for running such a great special on them right now!

OK the ability for the air gun to just plug right into a push-connect fitting for supplying air is actually pretty dang slick. I like it.

I've worked with those Schunk "clamping pots" during one of my internships. And they work really really well!

Aah I remember seeing the monster hooks before in your older videos. It's quite nice seeing some of the parts you've done outside of the Academy content, helps provide some context to it all.

It is unbelievable to me how many people in the comments could do this stuff better. Hindsight is always 20/20 in this industry but sometime you have to actually stop designing and put parts out the door, there's not a time I've watched a part of mine being machined and realized I could of done something better, but the part was still made.

@UCB0ETIwm_oVYGbL9V8pgBCA well they use shunk studs everywhere. I figured the sub plate could use the studs so you can swap the sub plate quickly without having to undo bolts so you can transition to a different job faster There's also the benefit of just switching out a lighter subplate for a preloaded one so you're not sitting there loading/unloading parts and stock in an idling machine,.

@justinbroderick4126

@@KC-rd3gw That is a reasonable suggestion and is also how other pneumatic systems work. I am using 20 x 12 x 1.25" interchangeable pallets spread across 2 Pierson bases, pitbull and dual expansion clamps for 40 (smallish) part pallet. The Pierson bases don't use studs but rather ground hardened sleeves and the base has the studs (and central pull down). Either way, IMO there's often no need to duplicate and double stackup. At worst, one can run thicker pallets if the work piece fastening interferes with where the Schunk studs have to fall out (if it absolutely has to coincide, possible you can shuffle in CAD as it's your own fixture).

I'd love to see some more fixture videos that don't rely on extreme spending. How about some real world fixture tips for those of us that didn't win the PowerBall lottery!🤣👍🏻

Could you simply get rid of the base plate if your using the Vero s system? Mount the very pull studs directly to the part fixtures in order to skip manually bolting the fixtures down?

Yes I might make the fixtures a little thicker though to add rigidity. You would need 4 pins instead of 2. The pins run about $80 a piece I believe. We actually sell them on our store. Store.titansofcnc.com

How often do you indicate that fixture to see if it's still true and is it necessary to indicate it? If it's production parts you're cutting with that I understand the tolerances won't be too tight but can you use those fixtures for tight tolerances also?

Your knowledge is Bad Ass.plain and simple.

These techniques are great! Almost sad that the automation of my mill makes it impossible to fix unidentified pins in the pneumatic pods

Titan, can you please show us some techniques on how you lock down the part into the second fixture plate for cutting the back side? Thx.

hi I was wondering what material you are using to machine ? thanks Dan

Thanks for that Titan, really informative video dude. Fixturing is so cool.

Are there any good videos or maybe you can make one on making adjustments to a program?

So amazing how someone dedicates great time and labour to teach others for free while many others are looking for culprits to fire.

cool 😎

When you decide to make a fixture like this how do you charge the customer? Do you amortize the fixture cost into the parts? or ask them to pay for the fixturing up front?

what is teh clearance between the locating holes and the Dovel pin?

I had the same question regarding the need for the base plate. Accordingly, is the base plate placed only to compensate for z-axis reach. Furthermore, could you elaborate on how to probe accurately when you flip the parts between the setups. Many thanks for the very useful content.

@TITANSofCNC

3 жыл бұрын

The base plate is locked to the table. Then the fixtures position quickly and accurately to the base plate and can be switched out quickly back and forth. Each part position has a precision hole that serves as XY center location so all you do is probe a single hole for G54 and G55

This was like watching the square hole video, but he actually put it in the right shaped hole.

Him: Boom Nobody else: Boom

how do people working in machining and not know these things haha !

Titan, can you not mount the billet standing up in the 5 axis vice and machine it in one operation on your five axis machining centre? You should be able to access all sides and leave a thin section at the bottom to break it off. It would then only require minimal manual finishing. Save on two fixtures, setting up time and only one program. Boom!

Skip the base plate. Looks like you could maybe install locking pins directly in your fixture plates. Also increase your accuracy by canceling out the imperfect pin fit you get in aluminum over time.

Hey Titan, how do you trust the Vero-S system to not move every time you remove any one of your pallets from the base plate or the Vero-S system itself? I would think with every pallet or baseplate you put in there is a new opportunity for the whole system of fixtures to move a thousand or two, and that thousand or two then show up in the part.
