INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY: CHOICES - Match machine selection to shop needs, toughest jobs

摘要

There's a lot of agreement that finding the right technology solution involves more than just selecting the right horizontal, vertical, universal, five-axis, high-speed, or multitasking machining center. Obviously, choices are made based on the job at hand. Best cost per piece, however, means very different things in a mold shop or a production facility, a job shop or an aerospace OEM. Each application has its own set of requirements with machine tool builders offering new technology and new machining center lines aimed at specific targeted applications, markets, and industries.
