Organized tools make for better efficiency: CNC tool shelves and rail mounts from Ruland.
Before and after using CNC tool shelves.
Ruland Manufacturing now supplies Ruland-designed CNC tool shelves and rail mounts that assist manufacturers with maintaining a 6S compliant work environment (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain, Safety). Tool shelves can fit existing machine mount systems depending on the manufacturer. If mounts are not integral to the machine, Ruland rail mounts are designed for easy installation on existing equipment.
"Manufacturers may at times struggle to keep an organized workspace, which can lead to tool damage and lost productivity time," said a company spokesperson. "Ruland CNC tool shelves and rail mount kits solve this problem by keeping 5C, BT-30 and hand tools neat and organized. This simple to install system can declutter the work area in less than 15 minutes."
The heavy-duty shelves are designed to fit existing machine tool rail mount systems and can be moved from one machine to another without disassembly. They are made from 16-gauge steel with custom sized plastic inserts for proper tool fit and protection from damage. Each shelf can hold up to 40 lbs. and is durable enough to withstand harsh manufacturing environments.
For users without rail mounts or those with extra tool storage needs, Ruland has designed a complete custom mounting system that can be set on any 14-gauge steel structure. The system consists of two rails, mounting hardware and two, three or four shelves. Each rail is 36" long and together can hold up to 160 lbs. on four shelves.
The shelves are manufactured and assembled in the U.S. They come in three types depending on the tools needing to be stored.
