cycle timeThe story
A six-axis arm link, re-fixtured to come off the machine in one setup.
Arden's arm link needed three setups and a manual deburr. We designed a dovetail fixture for the 5-axis cell, moved the bores into the same operation and cut the cycle from 47 to 29 minutes. Scrap fell from 4% to under 0.5%.

Read the drawing
An engineer goes through every tolerance and datum with the customer's designer and marks what drives cost before a price is given.
- 02Week 1
Fixture and programme
We design the workholding, write the programme and simulate the cut, so the first part off the machine is already close.
- 03Week 2
First article
The first part is measured on every feature. The report goes to the customer and the run waits for their sign-off.
- 04Every batch
Run, measure, ship
Series parts are checked in process and at final inspection, then packed with the report that carries their serial numbers.
In the customer's words“We sent a drawing on Monday and had inspected parts on Friday. After two years that is still how it works.
