Rapid Design actuator enters Metal Integrity machine-tending cell
Metal Integrity put a Rapid Design Solutions CNC vise actuator into operation in an OB7 robotic machine-tending cell after its original pneumatic vise failed to hold the required tolerances.
Evidence notes
- Metal Integrity automated its existing Kurt workholding with a Rapid Design Solutions CNC vise actuator.
- The actuator replaced a pneumatic vise that could not hold the target part's required tolerances.
- The completed OB7 cell raised weekly output from 180 parts to 475 on its first job.
