How a Flexible Manufacturing System Advances the Science of Machining

Take a look at how this flexible manufacturing system (FMS) from Makino has become a cost-competitive solution for the high-mix, low-volume production requirements at Micro-Mechanics.

Posted: September 2, 2014

A new flexible manufacturing system (FMS) from Makino Inc. (Mason, OH) is helping to advance the science of machining at Micro-Mechanics.

Chris Borch, the chief executive officer of Micro-Mechanics, shares how his company is advancing the science of machining with a new flexible manufacturing system (FMS) from Makino. By combining skill and ingenuity with the practical principles of engineering and automation technology, the company developed what it calls “24/7 machining.” As a result, the Micro-Mechanics’ flexible manufacturing system (FMS) has become a cost-competitive solution for their high-mix, low-volume production requirements.
