Methods Expert at Mfg4 2016
May 4, 2016On Wednesday, May 4, 2016 from 2:45 PM - 3:15 PM at Mfg4 2016, Methods Machine Tools, Inc.'s Automation Manager, John Lucier, will present a free conference session titled, "Manufacturing Automation For Firearms To Medical - From One Extreme To The Other."
This session will discuss the difference in machine tool automation strategies used in the high volume/low mix type of machining that firearms and other higher volume industries require versus the low volume/ high mix machining requirements in medical and other lower volume parts sectors. Attendees can learn the different strategies between these two forms of automation and solutions for cell configuration, end-of-arm tools, infeed/outfeed, workholding, part tracking and automation on demand for low volume processing.
