You are not alone!  Global staffing shortages are making it harder and harder for manufacturers to run more product in shorter amounts of time.  When it comes to machining operations, we hear that often and manufacturers are also reporting:

​

• An increase in poor quality parts which increases scrap and rework costs.

• Increased downtime due to an unreliable workforce.

• Operational inefficiencies resulting in inconsistent output.

 

The answer?  Automate your boring, repetitive machine tending operations.  Whether you’re running mills, lathes, drilling and tapping machines, or press brakes, the repetitive nature of loading and unloading parts makes it an ideal application for automation and manufacturers are seeing the following benefits:

​

• Improved quality through consistent part loading reducing the amount of scrap and rework needed.

• Labor challenges seen in these roles are resolved.

• Operational efficiencies increase machine utilization and minimize production downtime.

• Machinists can tend several machines and focus on higher level activities
