CNC RETROFITTED BROWN & SHARPE

Manufacturing Process: CNC Mitsubishi Control, Single Spindle, Fixed Stock Head, Two Axis Linear Motion, Automatic Bar Feed

The following benefits are realized through the use of this equipment:

• Lean Manufacturing
  • Set up times are reduced
  • Cycle times are reduced
  • Tooling costs are reduced
  • Production volumes are reduced
• Flexibility
  • Changes to established turned part can be accommodated with little or no tooling cost and achieved by modifying CNC program
  • Process capability of each machine is the same, allowing flexibility in scheduling, which translates into on-time delivery
• Viability
  • Machines are guarded and interlocked with the controls, making them OSHA compliant
  • Skill required to set up and operate machines is redefined and pool of talent to operate equipment is increased
  • Growth is focused on adding equipment
