How long does your average changeover take?
Now ask yourself—how many parts could you have made in that time?
If you’re looking for ways to reduce CNC setup time, your workholding setup is one of the first places to look. Every extra minute spent changing jaws is lost production.
At Huron Machine Products, we help shops reduce CNC setup time with smarter solutions like Quick Change Top Jaws and Collet Pad Jaws—built to keep your machines running and your operation efficient.
The Problem: Slow Setups Cost You More Than You Think
Traditional jaw changes take time—loosening bolts, resetting, and re-indicating—all while your machine sits idle.
If you don’t actively reduce CNC setup time, it leads to:
- Less machine uptime
- Higher labor costs
- Slower overall production
For high-mix shops, this becomes a daily bottleneck.
The Solution: Reduce CNC Setup Time with Better Workholding
With Quick Change Top Jaws, you can dramatically reduce CNC setup time by swapping jaws in minutes instead of lengthy manual setups.
- Faster changeovers
- Consistent repeatability
- More time cutting, less time setting up
To take it even further, Collet Pad Jaws improve grip and accuracy during machining.
- Strong, consistent holding
- Improved concentricity
- Reduced vibration and movement
Together, these solutions help reduce CNC setup time while improving part quality.
Make the Switch to a More Efficient Process
If your goal is to reduce CNC setup time, you don’t need new machines—you need a better approach to workholding.
Upgrading your jaws can help you:
- Reduce CNC setup time across jobs
- Increase productivity
- Improve consistency
