    Have you ever felt stuck thinking how to reduce part setup time?

    5-axis machining is fast, innovative and great for complex parts, but manually setting up the part beforehand? That’s where time disappears and problems arise. Hours of effort … just trying to get the part in the right place. And a process that’s massively prone to human error.

    That’s where NC-PartLocator from MSP PerfectPart comes in. Using metrology and 5-axis probing, NC-PartLocator detects where the part is in the machine tool volume, measures it and compensates for any misalignment error, and automatically updates the machine controller — all in a matter of minutes.

    There’s no need for expensive, bespoke fixtures. Just clamp the part in a simple fixture, probe it, and let MSP’s NC-PartLocator metrology software do the rest. The standard nominal machining program is used, and the process can run 24/7, closed-door, lights-out.

    MSP_REDUCING_SETUP_TIMES_WANDER_STILL_06

    NC-PartLocator transforms part alignment for composite or additive parts, where unpredictable layup or build processes can lead to increased setup time. Its automatic alignment compensates for distortion or irregularities, meaning fast, efficient part setup is possible for even the most complex of materials.
