Stop Presetting Tools in Your Machine

Your machine makes money when it is machining.  You do everything you can to maximize efficiency, increase productivity, and reduce downtime.  You have to.

Tool changers, pallet changers, quick-change fixtures, and dozens of improvements are made to reduce the time that a spindle sits idle.  So why do so many people still set tool lengths in the machine?  "Setting a tool only takes a minute or two."  Yes, but setting just 20 tools can mean a loss of 40 minutes of productivity.  That's 3-1/2 hours per week setting tools - working only one shift.  That equates to two days a month lost productivity.


Did you know you can also save time and money tooling up a new machine or job?  Next time you consider a new machine or a new job give us a call.  We can supply your tooling packages (no matter the size) fully assembled and preset.
Every tool arrives labeled and ready to put into action.
