VR SOP Training for Precision CNC Machining & Tooling

Consistent set-ups, safer runs, fewer scrap parts

High-precision machining relies on disciplined set-ups and repeatable methods. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your machines, workholding, offsets, tool libraries and in-process checks—so operators practise the exact sequence before cutting metal.

Common problems we fix

  • Set-up errors: datum mistakes, soft jaw seating, probe routines and offsets.
  • Tooling: wrong tool data, wear limits, coolant selection and breakage response.
  • First-article quality: CTQs, in-process checks and CMM handoff.
  • Safety: dry runs, guarding, swarf management and LOTO.

How our custom build works

  1. Capture SOPs & CTQs: set-up sheets, work instructions and inspection plans.
  2. Create scenarios: mill/turn set-up, probing cycles, first-off approval and tool break recovery.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts that match your HMI, tool sheets and checklists.
  4. Measure: right-first-time, scrap drivers and missed checks.

Benefits

  • Faster first-off approval and fewer scrapped billets.
  • Stable cycle times and predictable tool life.
  • Audit-ready training records for customers.

Why Spark

Your fixtures, offsets and QA rules—encoded into simple, repeatable training.
