Every machine cycle (door to door) a 6 sided part is coming off the machine complete, the tools and the workholding are only set up once, with only one program, the RoboJob only loading the machine once per cycle (the 5th axis RT and the vice). Yes I suppose you can say its two ops because the part is held in the Vice and 5th axis RT but following the initial set up where the first billet is only machined on the 5th axis every cycle following that a part is coming off the machine complete. Lots of different ways to skin a cat but this certainly proved a massive success at Hydrafeed!
There Is an op zero ti decking of the back side ... So Is 1 Op on 5axis and 1 in a VMC 3axis to surface the back... Or remains with raw stock scale and the thickness isn't in control ...
I can do It with 2or 3 dual station vices . 6pc at cycle . One machine to flip them over and facing the back side (Mitsubishi 80mm x 45° face mill) ... Fixturing on a 4th axis in 5or 6 packs with gauge pins to register Squareness and make the slot on the side and drilling .. 40/50min to make 5/6 parts Total tooling and programming time 2/2.30h for all 3 machines 16min per part on 5 axis Is 4pcs per H ...
That component Is not a 5axis product ... And for a job like that the only way to make profit Is 2 op in a VMC 3 axis and 1 on a fourth axis in pack for drilling and slotting
I consider 5axis in that piece if there Is tight geometrical-position tollerance of the side holes . I can work within 0.03mm without problems in 3+1 ..
Profit comes from reduced changes and therefore downtime... not the actual ability of the 5 axis as such Even more so if the machine can run through a batch of the same parts all pre-loaded

1 OP - robot programming and setup
2 OP - machining
Glad you enjoyed the video !
12 to 13 min’s
No need for guarding on that robot? and also with the probing cycle is this included in the overall tpp
No need for guarding, its got sensors so if you get to close it stops! Not sure about the probing, all packages vary!

You shouldn't call a Two OP as One OP, its a two OP set up with robot doing the both set up instead of manual operator.
Glad you enjoyed the video !
I think the part only takes about 12 minutes now
Glad you enjoyed the video !
8 minutes??
Glad you enjoyed the video !
It's a sub 10 minute part easy.
Glad you enjoyed the video !
16mins...ish
Glad you enjoyed the video !
6 minutes ?
