Modification and change documentation
Modifying an existing fixture is often faster and cheaper than building a new one – provided the modification is properly planned and documented. We describe the path from current to target state so that workshop and maintenance teams can implement it unambiguously.
When
Typical occasions
- New part or derivative on an existing fixture
- Changed locators, clamps or robot interface
- Process change, for example a new joining sequence
- Reuse of fixtures at another site
Approach
From current state to target state
- Current stateSurvey, by 3D scan if needed
- ChangeModification design and assessment
- ValidationOptional in simulation
- Target stateUpdated design
- DocumentationChange list, disassembly and assembly instructions
- HandoverUpdated drawings and bill of materials
Deliverables
What you receive
- Documentation of the current state
- Modification design and target state
- Change list with all affected parts
- Disassembly and assembly instructions
- Updated drawings and bill of materials
- Optional: validation of the change in simulation
What we need
What we need from you
- Existing documents for the fixture, where available
- New part or changed process requirements
- Access to the fixture if a scan is needed
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What if there are no documents for the fixture?
Then we start with a 3D scan and an as-built CAD model – see 3D scanning & reverse engineering.
Do you support the modification itself?
We deliver the design and documentation and are available to the workshop and maintenance teams for questions during the modification.
