Loading means seating a raw part in a chuck, a fixture, or a die exactly right, often by feel. A misload breaks a tool or scraps the part. Unloading a finished part means handling something hot, oily, or sharp without marking it. In between, the tender clears chips with an air hose or a brush, checks a dimension with calipers or a go/no-go gauge on a set schedule, and replaces inserts when the surface finish starts to degrade.
The tender also responds to alarms, swaps empty coolant drums, changes bins, and does first-piece inspections at every job change. These are the parts that automation does not cover.
The head camera sits at the operator's eye level and shows the fixture, the part, and the hands during every load and unload. Fixed cameras on the cell cover the machine door and the inspection bench, synchronized with the head camera. We film full shifts on working production floors with consented, paid operators, in five countries, and the footage is cleared for commercial training. Episodes are segmented per cycle, with steps labeled in plain language and tagged success or failure from the in-process inspection. Hand, part, fixture, and gauge tracking is optional. You receive each batch in your own schema, in your own cloud account, ready to load.
