Finding complete, comprehensive post-sale service is a much-needed relief for shop owners as there is a lot that needs to be done to maintain levels of productivity up to par.

Life cycle services to meet your productivity, quality & delivery at a competitive cost- through automation, upgrades, maintaining accuracies, safety & environmental compliances requirements.

High prices for new large and medium size CNC machines make it difficult for end user to reap the benefits of CNC technology. One of the solutions can be through upgrades.

The method involves addition of new systems or features to enhance the capability of an existing machine tool. The purpose of upgrades and retrofitment are to bring older or existing models up to ideal production goals.

Benefits:

Automation is the inevitable future of manufacturing. While some misconceptions about the technology are stopping the faster adaptation of it, the benefits provide a unanimous verdict on how much it elevates the business of metal cutting.

From everyday commodities to machine tools, buying locally/domestically made products are a great decision.

Here are six reasons supporting the claim.

Financials:

With the growing animosity towards foreign-made products, especially Chinese, over the Pandemic, the “Buy Locally” movement has taken steam. There is a lingering feeling within people that the future is uncertain: keeping their country’s economy going by buying domestically made products from local manufacturers seems to be the popular opinion. But does buying locally support the economy?

How do you document that your CNC machine tool is within tolerance? Ball bar or laser calibration services, the bottom line is your machine tool needs to be regularly screened and corrected to expect dependable performance from your machine tools.

An essential part of your machine tool’s upkeep is the availability of the right spares. Not to mention the importance of genuine spares on the performance of your machine as well.

The government recently announced its intention to spend almost 10 per cent of India's gross domestic product (GDP) in the fiscal year 2020 on economic relief measures.

While a lot has been experienced and said about the COVID-19 situation on businesses, what are the real implications facing the economy post-lock-down in India?

1. MSME rescued?

AceMicromatic Group is a comprehensive machine tools solution provider offering a range of turning centres, milling machines, grinding machines along with 150+ other solutions in the metal forming world.

When Micromatic Machine tools (MMT) was started in 1987, the aim was to centralise the marketing and service needs of the group, but with growing sales was a need for a systematic approach to post-sales services.

Automation is the most talked-about term of the decade in manufacturing. While it might seem like this means it has been adopted in most manufacturing facilities, that is not the case. There is still some hesitation and misconception around its adaptation. Here are some of the most common reasons for why manufacturers dismiss automation.

1. Not affordable:

In a manufacturing facility that has fixed floor space, staff size and running on multiple shifts increasing production is a puzzle that cannot be solved by adding multiple machines. A twin-spindle machine would be the right solution? Maintaining high productivity is the key to successfully utilizing your facility. Especially in setup’s where churning out high volumes investing in a twin-spindle machine can be a game-changer for your shop floor.

3D printing has become a buzzword in recent times, but it is a decade old technology that has been rapidly evolving. 3D printing presents many new possibilities to the world of manufacturing. In the medical world, application for additive manufacturing has seen the highest demand. From implants to prosthetics and making personalized or even patented intricate designs, additive manufacturing has the solution.

Industrial revolutions in the past have brought massive changes in manufacturing. After three major industrial revolutions, the fourth one has arrived and has the potential to intensify the manufacturing process even further with the help of technology and the internet. Industry 4.0 leverages concepts like IoT, AI, and machine learning to expand and enhance the manufacturing field.

  Machining is also a major area with the most impact to manufacturing itself. Machining operations are becoming a more connected activity just like all the other types of manufacturing. 

Wear and tear due to age, accidents, and breakdowns of machine tools are common occurrences at a manufacturing unit like a shop floor. This increases maintenance cost and affects production causing a huge dent in finances. Keeping the current production volumes in mind, buying a new machine is a serious investment that requires a lot of recovery time. With an industry where capital investment is huge, it seems like there are very few options to choose from as a solution.

When India began to manufacture in the 1950s finding machines capable of doing such tough metal cutting was only possible through foreign machine tools. Slowly around the 1970s Indian manufacturers began to make machine tools that were suitable for the Indian manufacturing requirements.

Over the decades, Indian manufacturers have been competing fiercely with the international market to make highly capable complex machines that offer many benefits to part manufacturers.

Choosing the right CNC machine tool manufacturer for your production needs is one of the most important decisions of your business. There are many options to choose from but how do you make the right decision from the ones that are suggested? How do you find manufacturers who offer quality, performance, reliability, lower price? Do you go with the expensive manufacturers, and reputed ones? To get a better idea of how to choose the right manufacturer for your shop floor, think about the below points for better clarity:

1. What are your Preferences

Today, any business is dependent on technology for a consistent flow in its operation. A small disruption could have a domino effect on the whole system.

Manufacturers had the worst hit from the COVID-19 pandemic. With factories shut and virtually no production, manufacturing companies had no choice but to work out a solution through remote working also known as the work-from-home model. But with more than 60% of their workforce belonging to physical work, challenges were aplenty for manufacturers.

The physical constraint

The pandemic COVID-19 has disrupted the world. What is unique is that it has happened at the same time across all lives and livelihoods.

The IT sector has already been advocating a digitization strategy across all businesses which has helped them continue with their processes despite restrictions. Whereas, with manufacturing companies, the challenges are bigger and require faster adoption strategies.

Where manufacturing stands:

The impact of the Novel Coronavirus is so significant that globally, some major shifts and trends seem to have emerged. Here is a list of changes for better or for worse.
