CUSTOMER STORY

Custom drilling machinery at off-the-shelf pricing

customer story

Challenge

The client was using templates, jigs & fixtures to manually drill holes in suitcases. The operation was time consuming, costly and prone to inconsistencies or errors. The client was looking for an automated system to process more parts, at a higher quality and in less time.

Solution

A 3-axis drilling CNC. Equipped with a tool change system and high speed spindle, the solution is capable of repeatedly drilling hinge mounting points on industrial carrying cases, quickly and consistently.
