Calculating CNC automation ROI
Here are nine key factor to help determine the financial viability of automation.
Operation / Process
Repair & Maintenance Services
Specials Program
The goal of the program is to minimize machine downtime and the program's process is simple. When a customer runs a machine until it fails, they can send in their damaged assembly for an engineering analysis to determine if Riten can refurbish/repair to "like new" condition−or build a complete new unit. Riten also encourages customers using the specials program to keep a complete spare assembly readily available in stock. The goal is to have one on hand at all times to avoid machine downtime during the rebuild process.
Reamer Reconditioning Service
Diatool does not limit the times a reamer can be reconditioned, providing an even longer service life of the reamer with no compromise in tool life or cutting quality. Offering standard deliveries of 4-6 weeks and cost savings of 40 percent over new, Diatool's Reamer Reconditioning Service is ideal for machining operations struggling with long lead-times or non-responsive tooling vendors.
Factory-Rebuilt Presses
During the rebuild process, AP&T technicians disassemble and thoroughly examine the press. They replace worn parts and outdated systems and components before reassembling the press and performing a test run and safety check. All exchanged parts are covered by AP&T's new-part warranty.
Live/Dead Center and Face Driver Repair
Riten can repair/restore to "like new" condition their standard centers and face drivers (as well as industry competitor's products) for a fraction of the cost of new tools. If practical repair is not possible, trade-in is available for live centers and face drivers at significant savings for new standard Riten one. With competitors' products, trade-in savings are estimated on a case-by-case basis.
Machine maintenance
A strong maintenance routine is important.
Rebuild to spin again
Repair and remanufacturing services bring new life to damaged spindles.
We can rebuild it
There are different reasons for rebuilding rather than replacing machines.
High-Speed Spindle Repair Service
In today's booming manufacturing environment, high machine tool utilization rates can have an impact on optimal machine tool performance resulting in planned or unplanned repair requirements. IBAG has stepped up its high-speed spindle repair and rebuilding services at their North Haven, Connecticut, facility. The comprehensive service includes a thorough spindle condition evaluation, analysis of all internal parts prior to approval for repair and rebuilding.
Trim waste with proactive environmental program
Industrial waste, its impact on the environment and regulation by governments have become significant areas of interest for medium and large manufacturing companies. One company's proactive approach to environmental sustainability also reveals ways to reduce waste.
Cutting Tool Reconditioning Service
During the 2017 #GraingerShow, Grainger announced the addition of a cutting tool reconditioning service to its metalworking solutions and its strategic relationship with US Tool to provide that service. The new offering helps manufacturing customers reduce the waste of discarding worn endmills and drills bits by repairing the tools' cutting edges back to original specifications for a fraction of the cost of buying new tools.
