No work, all play this Labor Day! Relax and let Matsuura’s 5-axis, automated manufacturing solutions labor-so you don’t have to!
Matsuura Machinery USA has the product range, the industry partners and real world experience to seamlessly integrate profitable automation into your business.
With the rapid advancements in technology and processes, many organizations may consider investing in Matsuura’s 5-Axis automation solutions.
While some manufacturers outsource to reduce production costs, more progressive companies seek flexibility in their manufacturing processes to manage costs and expand their customer bases. This flexibility supports financial resilience in difficult economic times.
Automatically managing tools and pallets with software enables high-mix, low-volume production – where parts with a high value are produced on a single machining center – that can flexibly respond to the machining needs of the market.
True flexibility empowers manufacturers to stay in tune with their market, replacing rigid and static operating models with levels of control and responsiveness never previously possible.
This flexibility provides High-Variation/Low-Volume companies the ability to make investments and continue to grow. These companies adjust setup and processing procedures to create simplified workflows by implementing lean practices into assembly procedures. As a result, High-Variation/Low-Volume manufactures have become more capable of withstanding economic downturns and changes in market spending.
Matsuura’s automated, lights-out production enables many companies to take on low-volume jobs for various industries. With a wide variety of work, minimizing setup times is key to success.
An emphasis on quick changeover—the ability to quickly convert from running one product to another—is essential for a manufacturer that has a highly variable mix of product.
In small lot production, elimination of set-up time is the primary goal. Shaving a few seconds or even minutes of cycle time per part when making 20 or 30 parts is insignificant. The savings and the profit improvement come from reducing set-up time from hours to zero and by running parts unattended overnight and on weekends.
Justifying new technology is a multi-step process that requires a thorough assessment of factors at work in your manufacturing operation. We can help you learn how to understand and evaluate the benefits and payback of Matsuura’s latest 5-axis technology.
