Process:
Turning and Milling

The system allows 4 hours of unattended operation, increasing production capacity 4 hours per day. Part loading time was reduced to 15 seconds and setups were cut in half. Overall machining cycle times were reduced by 50%, and the combining of two machining processes into one supported a throughput increase of 200%.

Performance Technologies wanted to strengthen manufacturing capabilities with a specific focus on increasing throughput and reducing per-part manufacturing costs. Machining operations would need to be reduced and the process reengineered to allow for unattended and after hours production.
