Manufacturing each impression roller was a time-consuming process requiring seven steps ­­– including outsourcing two operations – until the company decided to streamline production by adding a new work cell.

As detailed in the video below, Nilpeter installed a 7-axis, twin spindle CNC turning machine serviced by an LNS Sprint S3 automatic magazine bar feeder, a Blaze Air vacuum unloader and the LNS e-Connect Ethernet communications system. This cell reduced machining time per roller from 4.5 man hours to less than 30 minutes.
