Quick Tooling Changeover Systems Make Every Minute Count
Machines only make money when they are making parts, and two of the biggest losses of production time are set ups and tool changes. As shops face more high mix – low volume part production scenarios, minimizing the amount of time a machine sits idle for these necessary tasks is key to increased overall productivity and profitability. For instance, stripping toolholders from a turning machine turret, replacing them to produce a new part and touching tools off to confirm their
