CNC Machining (General)

An aerospace customer was faced with the choice of either building a new facility to house two new milling machines or splitting production between two manufacturing sites. Bertsche developed a new machine concept that offered the customer the productivity (throughput) of two machines and the floor space footprint requirements of one machine, thereby saving the customer the cost of building a second facility and moving all production to a larger facility.
