Investment in quality machinery ensures sustainable productivity growth

Resources are one of the foundations on which productivity rests. People and their skills, the space in which you work, the machines you have at your disposal are resources without which you cannot achieve high productivity. You can improve productivity by increasing the space in which you work so that you are better organized, or by employing more people and investing in their training and specialization. But at some point all this is no longer enough. To keep growing, the only option is to retool. Investing in modern, quality machinery is the way to make a big change with long-term results.

Latest campaign Accessories, Equipment Divisionis called Focus on productivity. Campania offers a range of high-performance machines that will take your productivity to the next level. A team of specialists with 15 years of experience and thousands of hours of training is ready to support you with the best advice in the pre- and post-purchase process.

How to increase productivity

Maintaining production efficiency is no simple matter. Your business grows and changes over time and you will find that you are operating inefficiently. By re-engineering you'll make production more efficient by increasing productivity. Your machinery will work faster and better, you'll be able to fulfill more orders in a shorter time and at a better and consistent quality. But there are many elements involved in the process and it is good to do a process analysis before taking the first step.

CNC is the machine with which you can have a significant increase in productivity. However, it should be chosen according to the production profile. If you manufacture mass-produced furniture with many identical component parts, investing in a Nesting CNC forming machine will reduce cutting time, increasing productivity and streamlining the process. If many holes are required to assemble the parts, on all sides of the panels, the purchase of a drilling CNC will certainly increase productivity.

The CNC is a high-performance machine that does not require teams of workers to operate. The best results are achieved when only one operator is responsible for its operation. In addition to increased productivity, as efficiency increases, the number of mistakes will be reduced, and the risk of accidents will greatly decrease.

Until the CNC was purchased, production was done with a certain number of workers. To be sure that productivity would increase workers must be redeployed according to a well-established plan. The plan should be based on a list of options so that operators enjoy their work, thus ensuring a significant increase in productivity. Performance bonuses will encourage operators to do the work faster and better.

Investing in technology will certainly increase quality and productivity. But to get the most out of your investment you need to understand the points of interest. If you invest in a machine that increases the number of sub-assemblies, but you haven't solved their pick-up and the assembly line, even if strictly on sub-assemblies productivity increases, overall production doesn't change much. That's why it's good to take advice from specialists who can look at things from the outside and get an overview of production.

How to choose a CNC to ensure you get maximum benefits

Not all CNCs are the same, even if they are dedicated to the same type of machining. When choosing the CNC to achieve the productivity increase you need to consider the following elements:

• Robust machine structure
• Its rigidity
• Central shaft power
• Clamping devices
• Cooling system
• How to attach tools
• Tool shed
• Programming system
• Data transfer

Added to all this is the quality of the operator and his ability to program it for system operations.

By looking at these elements in several types of CNC and comparing them, you'll find the most suitable machine for your production needs.

Support your focus on productivity with Accesoria equipment

For this period, in which being competitive is very important, Accesoria Echipamente offers state-of-the-art machines, according to the needs and demand of the Romanian market. The Romanian market is maturing, increasing in quality and becoming more and more demanding, with customers who want more and more customized furniture, high quality and executed as quickly as possible. To meet these demands, Accesoria Echipamente recommends to focus on productivity with 3 machines from Biesse.

Rover A from Biesse is a complex CNC that can do any kind of machining and can be customized to the requirements of your production flows. Thanks to the 360-degree rotating electric spindle it accurately machines complex workpieces in wood, chipboard, MDF or composite materials. An added advantage of the CNC is the exhaustion system, which ensures that debris is removed from the work area, prolonging the life of the milling cutters. The very fast removal of machining debris decreases the abrasive effect of machining debris on the machining tool (milling cutters, drills, etc.), thus reducing the maintenance cost of the machine.

Rover K FT  is a Biesse CNC with a very compact structure, probably the most compact on the market today. This makes it ideal for small and medium-sized factories. It can process wood panels and wood derivatives, is flexible and easy to handle. Thanks to the simple design, the operator can access all parts of the equipment at any time and in complete safety. The Nesting technology allows to get the maximum number of pieces per panel processed, minimizing waste.

Akron 1400 is an automatic cant application machine from Biesse that can be configured according to customer requirements. It has compact working units available in different configurations to suit specific production requirements. The frame offers stability and strength, the machine performs precise and reliable machining. The movement of the panel to be edged is done by a system that ensures optimal workpiece clamping and resistance to lateral loads that occur during the application and machining of the edge. The system allows the working pressure to be automatically adjusted according to the edge being used.

Expert advice and service - added value that helps increase productivity.

Not only the machines, but also the expert advice and service provided are assets that contribute to increased productivity. They should be appreciated and used. A consultant encounters a wide variety of situations and their experience can be useful in choosing the option that maximizes productivity.

In order to analyze the needs of each manufacturer, Accesoria Echipamente provides a experienced team more than 15 years in the market, continuously present, from pre-purchase consultancy to training and after-sales assistance. The consultants work on the idea of understanding the work carried out in the workshop or factory, proposing the machine or production line that provides superior productivity and competitiveness. The service team also provides commissioning of equipment, maintenance services or punctual interventions, preventive checking of machinery or training for factory operators.

Technology is defining the present, shaping the future and helping us to add value. Evolution in manufacturing is a continuous process that must be treated as such. Adapting to market demands is accepting the idea that you cannot achieve a high level of performance without understanding the technology and utilizing its benefits. The result will be increased productivity, efficiency and product quality, reduced labor, thus ensuring a solid future for the business.
