Today’s large machine shops have a decided advantage over shops of the past and small shops with limited resources. Thanks to computer numeric control methods (CNC), processes like milling, boring, and turning are fully or partly automated. In fact, CNC machining services over benefits to many companies. Here are some of the good things they can do for you.
Faster Production Times
Not long ago, it took a long time to produce a complex part. For example, suppose you need a part with threads, holes, and special ports. With manual methods, you had to place the part on a separate machine for each process. Each machine needed setting up and adjusting, and all these steps slowed down production. Today, CNC machining services can make many parts on one machine, because the machine has a tool for each job needed.
How can fast production times help your business? Suppose a customer wants an order as soon as possible. When you use a modern machine shop with the right equipment, you can deliver rush or urgent orders on time and take care of your customers. Also, you can produce more products in a shorter amount of time.
Lower Costs
Computer technology can lower the cost of production and here is an example. Suppose a shop makes manifolds and it takes casting, threading, and boring processes to complete each manifold. Instead of paying someone for the threading process and another worker for boring, a CNC machine can do the job in one step. It takes fewer workers for the task, and this lowers operating costs. Also, because production methods are faster, you can sell more products each day.
When CNC machining services lower costs and increase production, they give you what you need faster and for less money. Thanks to this technology everyone wins.
