GT Series
The rotary broach allows machinists to add internal hexagon, square and other forms to precision metal parts. The modern machine shop can benefit from the quick set-up and ease of use available in adjustment free broach holders. The GT Series broach holder from Polygon Solutions has been designed for this purpose, and often eliminates secondary operations.
Dynamic Storage Systems
Changing the order picking process to utilize a goods to person principle can increase productivity by 2/3 and improve worker ergonomics in metalworking operations. Dynamic storage systems from Kardex Remstar brings the work to the worker; eliminating the time spent to walk to the specific location to retrieve the item.
