Happy New Year! Any New Years resolutions to work on?
Many of us put things like this on our to-do list:
Save time
Save money
Get better at what I do
One of our New Years resolutions is to continue sharing the real benefits of our products. Why? So our customers can keep their resolutions to save time, save money and get better.
For example, one of the greatest benefits of tapping offline is the fact that it
Saves time
Saves money
Improves quality
How do we know? We incorporate it into our manufacturing here at FlexArm. We’ve heard the success stories.
Here’s one:
We received an email on New Year’s Eve 2015 from a customer that contacted us about a tapping application last year. We qualified the need and offered a pneumatic tapping solution for their need, which they put into place.
This is what they told us about the benefits they found in tapping offline with a FlexArm:
"We recently had a job in which we had to tap 40 each 10-32 holes in 6 steel plates that were 1 ½ inches thick. The plates had a large arc to them, and our retrofit CNC machine could only be used to drill and locate the holes for tapping. The actual tapping had to be done manually.
It took approximately 5-6 minutes to locate a single hole on the CNC machine and tap it by hand. We then performed the same operation on a precision weld table with the FlexArm mounted to it.
Each hole took approximately 45 seconds to tap with the Flex-Arm!
We have done demos for the launch pad engineers and technicians, emphasizing the speed and accuracy we are able to deburr and tap holes from 0-80 to ¾ inch.
The response is always the same, amazement!
We have done several jobs with the FlexArm, with increased production rates. The FlexArm also allows us to respond to mission-critical modifications in less time and cost to the company."
When you compare 5-6 minutes per hole to tap manually vs. 45 seconds to tap on a FlexArm, the time alone adds up quickly.
When you factor in accuracy, precision, and the ability to deburr – tap – chamfer – ream – and more with one system, it’s easy to see how production rates will increase by incorporating a FlexArm into a machining center.
Add the fact that an operator can tap, thread and take care of finish work on a FlexArm WHILE the CNC is running, and the goals to
Save time
Save money
Get better at what I do
become fulfilled resolutions quickly and easily.
Happy New Year from all of us at FlexArm! We look forward to helping YOU keep your New Years resolutions of becoming more effective and efficient in your production area.
