"With the Halter TurnStacker Premium 20 we manufacture 30% more parts each day."

*Matt James, President, M&M Precision Machining*

 

Since M&M Precision Machining invested in the HALTER TurnStacker Premium, it produces each day 30% more parts on the Hwacheon 200A CNC lathe; with the same staff.   
*“With 18 hours a day a human operator at the lathe, we used to manufacture up to 800 to 850 pieces. Now we manufacture more than 1100 parts each day,”* says Matt James, President of the contract manufacturer.   
M&M Precision Machining is familiar with unmanned machining. The 19 Swiss type lathes run quite some hours unmanned every day. And there are two vertical machining centers equipped with a robot loader.

 

Matt James started looking for easy to use automation for the lathe because the team must do a hard turning operation with a one minute cycle time on 6” gears.   
*“When the operators heard about the HALTER solution, they were excited because they know this eliminates manual loading of the machine.”*   
The production has increased 30% by automate the loading of the gears. Matt James and his team chose the HALTER TurnStacker Premium because the robot cell is very easy to program and set up. It’s really a plug-and-play solution: *“With a pallet jacket we can even move the robot cell to another lathe if necessary.”*
