Planning to increase manufacturing capacity by adding another low cost VMC? Maybe it is time to evaluate how to achieve lower costs, increased profits, lean operation and reduced lead-times by switching to a horizontal machining center. This webinar will compare the use - and associated costs - of utilizing an HMC for the production of a part rather than the traditional VMC approach. The evaluation will consider factors such as machine price, load/unload times, access to the part, chip management, multi-part fixturing, done-in-one part sequencing, part handling labor content, possible errors or scrap, floor-to-floor times, through-put and ultimately - cost per part.
