We bought 3 CNC vertical milling machines (VM-CNC1060) for making molds. The 12-tool changer cuts setup time down by 60% and the precision is amazing — the cavity dimensions are always the same and the scrap factor has gone from 8% to 2%. The energy savings are quite apparent: monthly electricity bill was $300 less.
Being a small automotive parts shop, we required an economical CNC lathe. The CL-HS300 with automatic bar feed allows us to run 2 shifts of operation with no added labor cost. The after sales educating was very good — our operators learned the programming in 3 days. This was 18 months ago and we have had no major breakdowns since!
The SG-840 surface grinding machine is a great machine for surfacing the parts of medical devices. It machines the stainless (Ra: 0.8 μm) components in compliance with the FDA. It has easily used PLC control and is easily maintained: to date only weekly lubricant of the guideways is all that we have needed. I would certainly recommend it highly for industries where precision is important.
