- Automating material loading and part unloading. Whether you’re machining bar stock or blanks, reducing the involvement of the machine operator saves considerable labor cost and frees the operator to manage multiple machines. For example, automatic bar feeders safely and reliably load bar stock and reduce vibration in the cutting zone, while palletized systems and robots efficiently load and unload even very large and heavy parts.
- Customers demand agile manufacturing. Many CNC machine shops are asked to perform short runs, handle large families of parts and quickly adjust to product design and material changes. Plus customers expect rapid responses to any changes. Responding to these demands requires flexible, versatile machine tools and accessories.
- Customers want solutions, not just new machines. With the demand for agile manufacturing comes the need to quickly adapt to new machining challenges. For example, working with difficult-to-machine materials like titanium requires an understanding of both machine tool capabilities and optimum tooling choices. Your Torrance Haas Factory Outlet can help you with both.
- Better equipment maintenance. As CNC machine shops add more advanced machine tools and accessories, they have an increased need for predictive and preventative maintenance. Moreover, with customers demanding faster turnarounds and greater agility, equipment failures can create major problems. Plants need planned preventative maintenance programs, either developed internally or provided by a trusted supplier like your Torrance Haas Factory Outlet.
- Lights out manufacturing. To keep up with customer demands many shops operate multiple shifts, which can drive up labor costs. Running an unattended overnight shift is one proven labor saving strategy. However achieving efficient lights-out production is not as simple as we might think. Your Torrance Haas Factory Outlet can guide you through the process. Simply call (310) 381-0750, email: jphillips@haasfactoryoutlet.com, or visit www.haasfactoryoutlet.com.
