[Successful Case of Shrink Fitting] From Old Tool Holder to Shrink Fit Holder

Introducing a case where the tool holder system empowered employees and increased productivity.

In an extremely competitive industry segment, how can we increase productivity while improving the standard of living for employees? Let me introduce you to the case of Skills Inc. (Auburn, Washington), a rare company that aims for both economic and social goals. By adopting shrink-fit holders, tools that used to be replaced for each part processed now have a lifespan four times longer than before. With the elimination of tool-induced vibrations, interruptions during work time have decreased by more than 1.5 hours, and the frequency of manual corrections has also reduced. This step alone has resulted in savings of approximately $2,700 for every 20 parts. Additionally, the percentage of scrap material has decreased from 7% to below 3%, leading to savings in both time and materials. For more details, please download the catalog.
