I was running two machines today since we have work to do. Yipee!
Anyway I was wondering if anyone here tries to idiot proof their setups? Today I ran a couple of parts and they were fine but loading two vises with new parts I loaded the first wrong and it scrapped it. We may be able to "fix" (weld it) maybe not. I did not set this machine up and just was distracted and running ahead of myself. Been a while since I have done that. The lead boss told me to take a clamp and put it on the moveable jaw so the part would only load one way. He said he does it all the time because he has so many irons in the fire so to speak. We also have made some of our fourth axis hubs so that when doing 2 surfaces and indexing so that the correct orientation is done preventing cutting on the wrong sides by blocking those sides with added on brackets. This is done and there is no way it can be done wrong again without a lot of noise.
