Distributed by MC Machinery Systems, Inc., Mitsubishi Laser's River Navigation System is designed to increase efficiency by monitoring inventory and automating material handling. The system integrates multiple vendor lasers and turrets for incorporation into an existing equipment line. In addition, it handles and inventories sheet metal through every stage of the production process.
According to the manufacturer, this system can improve the flow of materials, workers and information on the shop floor by providing an efficient way to track existing stock. By automating material handling, the system potentially could improve production efficiency by eliminating the non-value added activities associated with material management.
AMPG can’t help but take risks — its management doesn’t know how to run machines. But these risks have enabled it to become a runaway success in its market.
While much focus is placed on the machinery that moves parts, the features most important for automating five-axis machining are arguably found in the machine tool itself.
