Overview
This skill generates standardized CNC setup sheets tailored to MNMUK machine shop equipment, including DMG MORI mills/lathes, CITIZEN Swiss, MITSUBISHI EDM, and HAAS cells. It reduces setup time, captures tribal knowledge, and enforces consistent documentation for tooling, workholding, offsets, and first-off checks. Use natural triggers like "setup sheet" or "new job" to activate.
How this skill works
When asked to create a setup, the skill asks for machine and job details if not provided, selects the matching machine template, and pre-fills known fields (machine model, program number, typical coolant and tooling). It highlights fields that require operator input, inserts critical first-off inspection checks, and appends relevant tips and known issues from tribal knowledge. Output is a ready-to-use setup sheet you can copy into shop systems or print for the floor.
When to use it
- User says "setup sheet", "create setup", or "new job" for any CNC operation
- Preparing first-off or prototype runs on DMG MORI, Haas, Citizen, Mitsubishi, or Hardinge machines
- Creating a tooling list, workholding diagram, or fixture setup for a job
- Documenting setup changes, known issues, or operator tips for repeatability
- Recording cycle time and first-off inspection results for process control
Best practices
- Review the drawing and previous setup sheets before starting
- Gather tooling, fixtures, gauges and verify program revision first
- Document deviations and update the sheet after the first-off inspection
- Run the first part at reduced feed and record actual cycle time
- Capture photos and operator tips to add to tribal knowledge for repeat jobs
Example use cases
- Create a setup sheet for NLX2500 turning operation with bar feeder and live tooling
- Generate a 5-axis milling setup for DMG MORI NMV3000 including CELOS coolant settings
- Produce a Citizen Swiss sliding-head setup with guide bushing, LFV or laser parameters
- Prepare a Wire EDM setup sheet with wire type, tension and flushing settings
- Document a Haas mini mill quick-turn setup for prototype transfer to production
FAQ
At minimum provide part number, machine model, and program number; the skill will prompt for missing details like tooling, offsets, and clamping torque.
Can the sheet include operator tips and past issues?
Yes. The skill pulls tribal knowledge entries and known issues and adds them to the sheet; include additional tips during setup to enrich future runs.
