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 machinery you have at your disposal are resources without which you cannot achieve high productivity. You can improve productivity by increasing the space you work in so that you are better organised, or by employing more people and investing in their training and specialisation. But at some point all these are no longer enough. To continue growing, the only option is to upgrade. Investing in modern, quality machinery is the way to make a big difference, with long-term results.

Newest campaign Accessories, Equipment Divisionis called Focus on productivity. The campaign proposes a series of high-performance machines that will help you take your productivity to a new 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. Business grows, changes over time and you'll find you're operating inefficiently. By re-engineering you will achieve production efficiency through increased productivity. Machines will work faster and better, more orders can be fulfilled in less time and at a better and more consistent quality. But there are many elements involved in the process, and it's good to do a process analysis before taking the first step.

CNC is the machine that can help you achieve a significant increase in productivity. But it must be chosen according to the production profile. If furniture is mass-produced, with many identical component parts, investing in a Nesting CNC forming machine will reduce cutting time, increase productivity and make the process more efficient. If many holes are needed to assemble 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 obtained when a single operator is responsible for its operation. In addition to increasing productivity, as efficiency increases, the number of mistakes will be reduced and the risk of accidents will greatly decrease.

Until the purchase of the CNC, production was carried out with a certain number of workers. To make sure that productivity will increase workers must be redeployed according to a well-established plan. The plan must be based on a list of options so that operators enjoy working, 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 what the points of interest are. If you invest in a machine that increases the number of subassemblies, but you haven't solved their take-up and assembly line, even if strictly on subassemblies productivity increases, overall production doesn't change much. That's why it's good to get advice from specialists who can look at things from the outside, so you have an overview of production.

How to choose a CNC to make sure you get maximum benefits

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

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

Add to all this the operator's skills and ability to program him for operations in the system.

By looking at these elements on several types of CNC and comparing them to each other you will find the most suitable machine for your production needs.

Support productivity focus with Accesoria Equipment machines

For this period, in which being competitive is very important, Accesoria Equipamente offers state-of-the-art machinery, according to the needs and demand of the Romanian market. The Romanian market is maturing, growing in quality and becoming more and more demanding, with customers who want more and more customised, high quality and fast execution furniture. To meet these demands, Accesoria Equipment recommends focusing 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 customised according to production flow requirements. Thanks to the 360-degree rotating electric spindle, it accurately machines complex parts made of wood, chipboard, MDF or composite materials. A strength of the CNC is the exhaustion system that ensures the removal of debris from the work area, prolonging the life of the cutters. The very fast removal of machining debris reduces the abrasive effect of the debris on the machining tool (milling cutters, drills), 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. For this reason it is ideal for small and medium-sized factories. It can process wood and wood-based panels, 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. Nesting technology allows to get the maximum number of pieces per processed panel, minimizing waste.

Akron 1400 is an automatic edgebanding 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, and the machine performs precise and reliable machining. The movement of the panel to be coated is done by a system that ensures optimal clamping of the workpiece and resistance to lateral loads that occur during edge application and processing. The system allows automatic adjustment of the working pressure according to the edge used.

Expert advice and service - added value that contributes to increased productivity.

Not only the machines, but also the expert advice and service offered are added values that contribute to increased productivity. They should be appreciated and used. A consultant encounters a wide variety of situations and his experience can be useful in choosing the option that ensures maximum productivity gains.

To analyse the needs of each manufacturer, Accesoria Equipment provides a experienced team over 15 years in the market, continuously present from pre-purchase consultancy to training and after-sales support. Consultants work on the idea of understanding the activity 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 one-off interventions, preventive checks on machinery or training for factory operators.

Technology defines the present, shapes the future and helps us 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 technology and reaping its benefits. The result will be increased productivity, efficiency and product quality, reduced labour, thus ensuring a solid future for the business.
