Saving Setup Time in a Real 5-Axis Production Environment
Jenks Machine, a high-mix job shop in upstate New York, implemented EvoGrip modular workholding in an Okuma palletized machining center to improve setup efficiency and consistency. Running multiple vises on 5th Axis bases, the team was looking for a way to reduce setup time and eliminate re-indicating between jobs.
After putting EvoGrip into production, they saw immediate improvements in changeover time and clamping reliability. As one operator put it, “We’ve saved a lot of time on setups and switchovers.” The system’s repeatability and rigidity allowed them to run a wide range of parts with confidence—without rebuilding fixtures or adjusting setups for each job.
“We’ve never had anything pull out.”
