Best fixture setup for milling and drilling mid-size batches of aluminum brackets?
h
Hi, I’ve got a batch of aluminum brackets that need to be drilled and milled on all sides with high repeatability. Has anyone designed a modular fixture system for parts like this to reduce setup time? I’m wondering if it’s better to go with a dedicated fixture or use a universal jig approach when the part volumes are mid-size (around 200 pcs).
Any advice or photos of setups would be great.
