We would like to introduce a case study of Company E (Ibaraki Prefecture), which has implemented our products: "APS Hydraulic Chuck," "APS Standard Jaws," "APS Quick Jaws (R)," "Chip Cover," and "Adjustable Stop." This company, which manufactures agricultural machinery parts, has seen an increase in setup times alongside a decrease in lot sizes. The machines were frequently stopped for "changeover" tasks, leading to reduced operating rates, decreased revenue per hour, and challenges related to labor shortages. To address this, they introduced a counter-spindle multi-tasking machine along with our products: "APS Hydraulic Chuck," "APS Standard Jaws," "APS Quick Jaws (R)," "Chip Cover," and "Adjustable Stop." This implementation resolved the issue of line stoppages due to labor shortages by eliminating production halts caused by jaw changes and reducing the number of air blow cycles. 【Case Study】 ■Industry - Agricultural machinery parts manufacturing ■Purpose of Implementation - Reduction of setup time, expansion of production time, alleviation of labor shortages *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
