Lightnin Rod from R&R Tool Helping Manufacturing

New innovative Light Stop allows inexperienced operators to function at the same level as an experienced machinist. By identifying precise placement of parts allow your operator to gain efficiency while you enjoy reduced scrap rates and controllable processes.

In today’s market, the experienced machinist is becoming few and far-between. Machinists and tool & die workers exemplify a certain level of finesse that seems to be absent within the work force of today’s generation. A ‘feel’ is required to setup, tighten, retighten, check, and recheck your work piece before machining. This ‘feel’ is impossible to teach, backing Dan Reed’s (inventor of the Lightnin Rod and owner of R&R Tool, Inc.) patented technology. 

With the Lightnin Rod providing aide, inexperienced machinists are less likely to perform the common mistake of miss loading the part at the beginning of machining. Through internal test situation analysis, inexperienced operators are trained quicker and able to produce a more reliable product with the Lightnin Rod’s assistance. Currently there is no foolproof way of determining if a part is in place or not when it comes to the precision location required with medical machining. Many times while training the trainer explains

“You have to feel the part,” Reed says.

The Lightnin Rod fills that gap in communication. Simply placing the material in the machine and watching for the blue light to remain lit during tightening ensures accuracy within 0.0002”.

“There is no guessing on placement anymore” according to Reed “Our employees refuse to run without them, machining medical parts is costly and calls for a high level of precision and we have already eliminated miss loads up to over 95% on some jobs using the Lightnin Rod.”

It is no secret operators seek to take pride in their output, using the Lightnin Rod allows them to run their parts confidently. In addition, eliminating the need to retighten the vise, and recheck your placement allows for a quicker more efficient work force. Coined with the name “The work stop for the professional machinist” the guaranteed accuracy provided with this Lighted Work stop is less than .0002” or two-tenths of an inch. Lightnin Rod also remains fully sealed and operates with ease under high-flow coolants.
