The Challenge

A machine shop uses screw and rotary transfer machines to produce valves and pressure connectors for the automotive industry.

The customer needs to maximize the capabilities of a new machine to increase production, which will open the door to additional orders from their largest customer.

The ASC 320 reduced cycle time and increased tool life. Ultimately, the customer purchased an additional hydromat machine for the increased orders they received.
