Maximixing Your Manufacturing Potential
Industries We Serve
We have deep, proven expertise in providing optimized solutions for the most demanding manufacturing sectors:
- Aerospace & Defense: High-precision machining of complex, high-temp alloys (Titanium, Inconel) using multi-axis VMCs and high-rigidity HMCs.
- Automotive & Heavy Truck: Solutions for high-volume component production, including powertrain parts, utilizing Gear Skiving technology and automated systems.
- Oil & Gas / Energy: Handling large, heavy, and extremely tough materials with the power and stability of our TOS VARNSDORF Horizontal Boring Mills and heavy-duty VMCs.
- Die & Mold: Delivering superior surface finishes and long-term accuracy with high-speed spindles and precise linear guide technology from our JTEKT and WELE machines.
- General Job Shop: Versatile and flexible solutions across our product range to handle mixed-part production, short runs, and quick changeovers.
Process Optimization Focus Areas
Our Application Engineers focus on three primary areas to immediately improve your bottom line:
1. Cycle Time Reduction
- Multi-Tasking Strategies: Implementing combined processes, such as using the JTEKT TOYODA GS700H for Gear Skiving and turning/milling in one setup.
- High-Speed Machining (HSM): Developing optimized tool paths and cutting parameters for high-RPM, direct-drive spindle machines to remove material faster.
- Automation Integration: Analyzing part flow and recommending the right EXPAND ROBOTICS system or pallet changer to virtually eliminate load/unload time.
2. Precision & Quality Control
- Fixture Design: Consulting on workholding solutions that maximize part rigidity and stability for tighter tolerances.
- Thermal Compensation: Utilizing advanced machine features to maintain accuracy during long cutting cycles and temperature fluctuations.
- Advanced Metrology: Integrating in-process probing and tool-setting systems to ensure first-part right, every time.
3. Material Expertise
- Hard Metals: Developing high-performance strategies for stainless steel, tool steel, and hardened components.
- Exotic Alloys: Precision approaches for Titanium, Inconel, and other super alloys common in Aerospace.
- Non-Ferrous & Composites: High-speed machining and specialized tooling advice for aluminum and composite materials.
We provide specialized knowledge on cutting challenging materials, ensuring optimal tool life and machine health:
