A local irrigation startup needed 30 brackets for a pilot deployment. The job allowed students to practice workholding and inspection while keeping the volume manageable.
Setup strategy
Students used a modular vice plate to reduce setup time and documented every clamp position for repeatability.
Inspection process
We measured three dimensions on every part and logged them in a shared sheet. Two parts required rework due to a tool offset error.
What we learned
Having a documented setup sheet allowed the evening crew to pick up the job without needing the supervisor on-site.
