For manufacturers looking to move beyond conventional production methods, additive manufacturing represents another avenue for improving flexibility and shortening development cycles. MC Machinery approaches automation as a scalable solution that can evolve alongside a customer’ s operation.
In laser processing, automation can range from a simple dual-pallet system to sophisticated material storage, automatic part sorting and inventory management. Modular configurations allow manufacturers to expand their systems as production requirements change. Certain configurations can also use up to 30 percent less floor space than typical laser automation setups, helping manufacturers make better use of valuable facility space.
This same philosophy applies to EDM and milling. The company’ s EDM automation cells can combine machinery with robotics to accelerate electrode production, workpiece handling and replacement, supporting lights-out operation. Milling automation can similarly bring production processes in-house, helping manufacturers reduce outsourcing, improve process control, increase output and shorten lead times.
Press brake operations are another area where automation can deliver measurable benefits. Mitsubishi automatic tool changers can help manufacturers manage tooling more efficiently, reduce setup time, and minimize the potential for costly downtime and defects. Programmability, real-time machine insights, and cloud-based connectivity further support a more responsive production environment.
Similarly, MC Machinery’ s range of Mitsubishi wire EDM machines combine highspeed performance with intuitive controls and machine designs intended to reduce wear,
