10DER TS-X CNC Lathe Tending

Описание: B&D Fabricators, a custom manufacturer of heavy construction equipment in Edgar, Wisconsin, has been experiencing tremendous growth since its founding in 2007. Their specialty lies in crafting one-off parts and large units like buckets, thumbs, and forks – custom solutions that fill the gaps left by major manufacturers. However, as their business boomed, they encountered a hurdle that threatened to stall their progress: a lack of skilled personnel.

The Bottleneck Blues: Finding Machinists in a Changing Landscape
The machining industry, like many others, faces a growing challenge – a shrinking pool of skilled labor. With fewer people entering the machining professions, B&D Fabricators found it increasingly difficult to find qualified machinists to operate their CNC machines. This resulted in a bottleneck in production, where the manual loading and unloading of heavy parts by human operators slowed down the entire process. This, in turn, impacted their ability to meet customer demands and maintain their high-quality standards.

The Search for a Solution: Partnering with CNC Solutions
Determined to overcome this obstacle, B&D Fabricators embarked on a search for a solution. They knew they needed to find a way to streamline their production process and free up their human workforce for more strategic tasks. Their search led them to CNC Solutions, a trusted automation partner with a reputation for innovative solutions.

Introducing the 10DER® TS-X: A Robotic Sidekick for Efficiency
CNC Solutions' engineers assessed B&D Fabricators' needs and proposed the perfect solution: the 10DER® TS-X robotic machine tending system. This off-the-shelf system acts as an extension of B&D's existing Mazak CNC machines, seamlessly integrating with their setup. The 10DER® TS-X automates the entire loading, unloading, and part-handling process with unmatched precision. This meant B&D could finally say goodbye to the slow, manual processes that were holding them back.

The Symphony of Success: A Manufacturing Marvel is Born
The impact of the 10DER® TS-X was nothing short of transformative. B&D Fabricators experienced a remarkable surge in production! This newfound efficiency allowed them to deliver products faster and keep their customers satisfied. But the benefits went far beyond just speed.

In response to CNC Solutions' request for quantifiable savings, Will Schara from B&D Fabricators said the following: “In several chats with upper management, and the crew on the floor we haven’t been able to pinpoint or even shotgun approach the amount of time saved”. “All I can tell you is that it took our machine shop from being behind the last 3 years to being ahead of the rest of the shop and are now hungry. This machine (10DER TS-X) has been so efficient that we have been able to use one operator to run three machines at once in some scenarios along with affording the operator not to run that machine for a couple of days and task him on another machine.”

Beyond the Numbers: A Strong Partnership Makes the Difference
But B&D Fabricators' success story extends beyond the impressive time savings. Their experience with CNC Solutions was equally significant. They found the team at CNC Solutions to be not just solution providers, but true partners. The ease of communication, helpfulness, and high-quality products from CNC Solutions were crucial factors in B&D's successful transition to automation.

The Final Movement: A Case Study in Manufacturing Excellence
B&D Fabricators' journey from a bottleneck blues to a manufacturing marvel is a testament to the power of automation. By embracing innovative solutions and partnering with a reliable automation provider, they were able to overcome their biggest challenge and achieve a new level of efficiency, quality, and safety. Their story serves as an inspiration for other manufacturers facing similar challenges, demonstrating the transformative potential of automation in today's evolving landscape.
