Reduction of floor to floor time The number of machines involved in
the machining process is drastically reduced. Queuing up in front of
machines or the transport in between individual machines is reduced
to a minimum. Work scheduling and planning is extremely
simplified. The cost consuming stock piling of semi
finished piece parts is reduced.
Increased flexibility In a MILLTURN set up times are usually less than 30 min.
when changing over to another clamping or another piece part. Expensive and
complicated fixtures are not necessary. Due to the enormous technological
capabilities, the MILLTURN offers more creative possibilities in the customer's
design department.
Increase in utilization Decreasing set up times are
equivalent to a significant increase in productive hours. Complete machining
means machining processes are not cut by manual interventions, which
eliminates interruptions by breaks.
Reduction of manpower The reduction of machines involved in
the production process automatically reduces personnel requirements for
operation, inspection, piece part transport and work scheduling. The complete
machining process combines formerly individual processes in just one operation with a
now comparatively longer task time, which enables a multiple machine operation.
Increase in quality Due to the lack of multiple clampings as in
split manufacturing not only costs for fixturing are reduced but also clamping
and adjustment errors are avoided.
