Company:
Ronlo Engineering

Industry:
Precision Machining Sub Contractor

Process:
Multi-Process Machining

The move to multi-process technology reduced machining cycle times by 75% and eliminated 90% of the labor requirement.  It compressed manufacturing lead-time from 3 weeks to 1 ½ days, and eliminated 50% of the set ups and part touches.

Ronlo Engineering faced growing demand for the manufacture of increasingly complex parts. To support challenging customer delivery and commercial requirements, it needed to dramatically compress manufacturing lead times and reduce piece part costs. This was particularly true for multiple-operation parts containing milling and turning requirements necessitating multiple part touches.
