About Our CNC Setup Sheet Application

This Setup Sheet application is a custom-built software solution designed to streamline the setup process for CNC machining operations at Camco Manufacturing. The app aims to improve efficiency and reduce errors by providing machinists with all necessary information in a single, easily accessible location.

Problem

Before the app, machinists at Camco relied on disparate sources for setup information (drawings, programming books, etc.), leading to inefficiencies, errors, and delays. Information was not centralized, which made troubleshooting difficult.

Solution

To tackle these difficulties, Zuggo developed a web-based interface that provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide for setting up parts on CNC machines.

Our Setup sheet provides the best way to store and retrieve the ODS Drawing for any specific part. Setup sheet also saves the Engineering Drawing for a part which is a complete drawing that covers the technical domains of the product, such as product dimensions, drawing visuals (1st angle, 2nd angle, 3rd angle) and more.nn

ODS and Engineering Drawing

Our Setup sheet provides the best way to store and retrieve the ODS Drawing for any specific part. The setup sheet also saves the Engineering Drawing for a part which is a complete drawing that covers the technical domains of the product, such as product dimensions, drawing visuals (1st angle, 2nd angle, 3rd angle), and more.

The app tracks all changes made to setup sheets, providing a history of modifications and who made them, facilitating troubleshooting and accountability.

Setup Sheet Changes

The setup sheet can store all the changes made in the specific part. It stores a complete history of changes made. The app tracks all changes made to set up sheets, providing a history of modifications and who made them, facilitating troubleshooting and accountability.

Setup Sheet also has an option to save the check sheet for the specific part. It is used to verify the ODS drawing, and all the points are checked for the ODS drawing after the engineering drawing. This check sheet helps carry out all the ODS designs. It ensures that the production dimensions, visuals, and cuts are accurately checked and then put into operation.

Setup Sheet Application Customizations

The CNC machine setup sheet for a CNC machine can significantly increase production efficiency by providing standardized, detailed instructions for each step in production. It can minimize errors, reduce setup time, and ensure consistency in the machining process. This ultimately allows for faster production runs with less downtime between part production and adjustments. 

As a result, this software reduces the time and effort needed to set up a CNC machine and makes it easier for the operator to use. This software for CNC machines makes it easier for operators to find information about tools and parts during manufacturing.

Machine Profiles

The application allows for the creation of machine profiles. Each profile defines the specific capabilities and limitations of a particular CNC machine (e.g., chuck size, tool capacity, available tooling).

Tooling Libraries

The application can integrate with your existing tooling database, or a new one can be built. This ensures only tools available on a specific machine are selectable for setup sheets associated with that machine profile.

Conditional Logic

The application can leverage conditional logic to dynamically adjust the setup sheet based on machine selection, material, or other parameters. For example, different tooling might be recommended based on the chosen material.

Customizable Operations

The operation sequences are fully customizable. Zuggo works with you to define standard operating procedures (SOPs) for different part types and machines, and more as required.

The work instruction for CNC machines involve guiding the machinist with detailed step-by-step instructions to operate the machine effectively.

Centralizing CNC Work Instructions

The work instructions for CNC machines involve guiding the machinist with detailed step-by-step instructions to operate the machine effectively. These CNC work instructions include information on machine settings, tooling requirements, and specific sequences of operations while manufacturing the parts using machines. 


The machinist relies on manual setup and physical documents or separate digital files to set up the machine, and they take more time to fully assemble. Our CNC Setup Software provides these details in a centralized form at a single location to give the machinist access to necessary tools at a single location.
