Bundle cutting increases productivity

摘要

Thanks to enhanced bundle-cutting capabilities, Schwartz J Steel Services, Gastonia, N.C., has seen its business grow over the last few years. Established in 1978, this full-service distributor of ferrous and nonferrous rounds, bars, shapes and plates in all sizes is best known for cutting to length on time. Customers are mostly job shops - manufacturers who do a little bit of everything from making parts to fixing machinery. It was just three years ago that bundle-cutting wasn't an option for Schwartz Steel. In fact, the company didn't have ideal machines for cutting single bars, let alone multiple bars or pieces. Unimpressed with the company's three saws, Benjamin Schwartz wanted to make a change as soon as he took over running the family business.
