HIGH VOLUME LEAN MANUFACTURING
ABS Valve BodyThe demonstration utilizes two (2) J55 stand-alone machining centers with Makino automatic part unloading and transportation mechanism.

ABS Valve BodyProcess Benefits

  • Serial processing with fewer quality control “streams of traceability” than parallel processing
  • Uses a machine index table as a pallet changer, thus reducing cost and complexity
  • Automatic unclamping and automatic unloading of parts. Material handling pre-orients the part for the next sequential machining operation, allowing the operator to load parts more efficiently
