The toolmaker

Open

Designs assembly, flashing and positioning jigs, and helps write tooling standard v0.1, so the same jig, at the same revision, could be rebuilt identically at any future hub.

An open invitation, not a vacancy: several people can take it at once, and it carries no number until you commit to something specific. This page says what Moduloa hopes for and where a first contribution could start.

Say what you would deliver

Why it matters

Why Moduloa needs this

The industrialization page keeps production aids in-house on purpose: jig lead time is industrialization's critical path, and a revision that changes a step often changes its fixture, so jigs have to move at blueprint speed. Every aid carries an ID, a revision and a calibration status, and the blueprint lists them the way code lists dependencies. Tooling standard v0.1 is an open Stage 0 task, and it is where that practice becomes something a hub could be audited against.

What we hope for

What you would bring

  • Assembly fixtures you have designed and built for electromechanical products: seating nests, routing combs, torque-reaction fixtures, bed-of-nails test frames.
  • Datum strategy, GD&T and tolerance stack-up, so a fixture presents the part the same way twice.
  • Modular workholding: standard base plates, zero-point or quick-change interfaces, so the next product bolts to the same interface.
  • Judgment on printed versus machined versus bought, sized to the demand rather than to habit.
  • Fixture documentation under revision control: drawings, calibration intervals, release together with the process that uses it.
On the task board

Tasks that suit you

Each has a plain test for done. Ask to commit to one: name what you will deliver and a date no more than three months after it is accepted. Several people can work on the same task, each with its own deliverable.

Or your own

Other first deliverables

Each is specific enough that by its date anyone can tell whether it was delivered. Some are a task above in a smaller form. Name one, or a better one.

  1. The base and frame interface for tooling standard v0.1: locating, clamping and the mounting pattern every aid fixes to, as a dimensioned drawing and a one-page spec with one EX-100 aid shown on it, published for review.
  2. One EX-100 aid made real, the F-201 seating nest or the F-203 torque-reaction fixture: a CAD model plus a datasheet carrying ID, revision, calibration interval and the model it derives from.
  3. The print, machine or buy rule: which classes of aid are made which way, at what demand and tolerance, with the reasons written down.
The terms

What this is, and is not

What this is not

Not a tooling order or a supplier contract: there is no hub to tool yet, and nobody is buying jigs. On its own a seat carries no pay, no equity and no supplier position, and any paid work is agreed separately.

What you get

When your commitment is accepted, it shows on the task and on your seat card, and a first commitment takes the next permanent number on the register, with your name, a link and your date. When the work is delivered in the open you are aboard and a certificate is issued. Nothing is paid for a seat and none is for sale: on its own a seat carries no equity and no supplier position, and any paid work is agreed separately, on its own terms. The entry stays either way: a commitment not delivered by its date is marked lapsed and dated, never removed.

How to start

Pick a task that suits you and ask to commit to it, or name your own first deliverable: what you will deliver and a date no more than three months after it is accepted. Write to shk@moduloa.com, or use the link on any task, which opens the contact page with the subject filled in. It does not have to be large. It has to be specific enough that anyone can tell by its date whether it was delivered.
