Autonomy restored to cast parts production line

Autonomy restored to cast parts production line

Using a range of products, mk Profile Systems has been able to restore autonomy to a cast parts manufacturer’s production line. It has successfully interlinked two machining stations in the production process – upstream and downstream machines that have different cycle times. Two different part types are produced on the line simultaneously and they are placed on the interlink system in no particular order. They must be presented to the subsequent machine sorted and with a cycle time of about 30 seconds per part.
