- Black & Decker: Here’s my EMCO advantage – EMCO vs. Okuma, Mori, Hardinge
- When Gary Smith went searching for some new turning centers
for the Black & Decker plant in Fayetteville, NC, where he is a
process improvement engineer, EMCO Maier’s products were
not a consideration. Not only had Smith never used EMCO’s
equipment before; he had never even seen EMCO’s equipment.
- Dayton Richmond Concrete Accessories: Improving The Manufacturing Process Through Innovative Technology Applications
- Several years ago, Dayton Richmond Concrete Accessories of Dayton, Ohio began looking for a more
efficient way to produce one of their major products, form ties. The form ties are long, slim pieces used at
the base and/or top of modular type formwork to tie steel frame form panels together. The form tie’s
shape made it necessary to use two manual lathes during production, which was extremely time
consuming. Dayton Richmond decided that
it was time for a change and promptly
began researching options to increase its
production rate through the use of CNC
lathes.
- Kimray, Inc. Reports Increase in Machining Efficiency on Oil Valves
- Kimray, Inc., an Oklahoma City, OK-based manufacturer of control
valves and related equipment for oil and gas producing companies,
reports a 40-50% increase in their machining efficiency. This was
achieved largely as the result of CNC-based production equipment,
according to a company spokesperson.
- Special Shop Software and CNC Package Improve Production by 15% at CEJN
- With a unique part program software suite onboard a powerful CNC, one shop has found it’s producing more
and better parts much faster on a recently acquired new lathe. CEJN, located in Gurnee, IL, is the U.S. branch of
a large multi-national company based in Skšvde, Sweden that manufactures an array of high-precision, high-
performance pneumatic/hydraulic components, especially quick connect couplings, for which CEJN has earned
an international reputation for quality.
