Hi, I’m Jon from CNCROi.com, and today we’re going to discuss custom UV jigs, which are essential tools for efficient production in UV printing and other repeatable tasks. Our company specializes in creating custom UV jigs using various materials such as MDF, plywood, Corian, and acrylic. Acrylic is a popular choice due to its versatility and color options. For example, translucent white and yellow acrylic are excellent choices for UV jigs. The bright yellow color allows users to immediately identify if a part is missing or incorrectly placed. This visual cue is crucial for avoiding mistakes, particularly in fast-paced production environments.

UV jigs are designed for repeatability, allowing you to load and unload parts quickly for maximum efficiency. In a UV printing setup, for instance, one jig can be loaded into the printer while the other is being unloaded and prepped. This continuous cycle eliminates downtime, making the production process faster and more streamlined. We use the same method in our shop with various machinery, including routers and lasers, ensuring that work gets done quickly without wasting time.

When it comes to materials, we work with different thicknesses based on the needs of the project. For example, we often use 2-3mm or 1/8-inch thick acrylic, which is laser cut for precise results. While the aesthetics of the jig are not the primary concern (since it’s a tool for mass production), the laser cutting process sometimes leaves slight burning marks due to the petroleum-based nature of acrylic. However, these marks can be easily sanded off or cleaned, as the main goal is functionality and efficiency in high-volume production.

At CNCROi.com, we also offer a variety of material options for UV jigs. In addition to acrylic, we’ve made jigs from stainless steel and mild steel for heavier-duty applications. We use our CNC router for these projects, which offers specific advantages, such as cutting one solid piece with a cavity. The CNC router allows for deeper cuts, though it comes with some limitations, like rounded edges. This can be countered by slightly overcompensating during the routing process to achieve the desired result. On the other hand, lasers allow for sharper edges but lack the depth control that routers provide. Some projects may require a combination of both methods.

For jigs that require both cutting and bonding, we might use different thicknesses of materials. For example, a quarter-inch material can be bonded with 1/8-inch material to create a custom jig that suits your production needs. At CNCROi.com, we’re dedicated to providing fully customized UV jigs tailored to your specifications. Whether you need assistance with designing templates or have specific material requirements, we’re here to help.
