C.R. Onsrud opened its doors for an automated panel-processing event.
C.R. Onsrud, a specialist in advanced industrial CNC technologies, opened its doors for an automated panel-processing event tailored to manufacturers who are looking to improve their panel processing production.
More than 30 prospective customers and distributors were invited to watch live demonstrations of high-speed panel applications in action.
“Automated material-handling systems strategically placed along a manufacturing cell or line can increase throughput tremendously,” said Brent Warren, regional sales manager for C.R. Onsrud.
“These systems are integrated as well as balanced to keep production continuously flowing. Speeding up some operations only to create bottlenecks downstream doesn’t help a production line or your bottom line.”
In addition to the live demonstrations of nested, routed cabinet parts, simultaneous machining of nine drill holes at once (using a drill block), and a variety of automation systems (infeed, outfeed, pusher/sweeper), the event included a tour of the factory and a software demonstration. Attendees also learned about integrated third-party labelling and storage and retrieval systems as well as had the opportunity to talk one-on-one to Onsrud CNC experts about their specific manufacturing challenges.
This is the second event the company has held in the last couple of months, and it hopes to offer more.
“It gives us a great opportunity to connect with other manufacturers, to hear the challenges they’re facing, and to find a solution for them,” said Warren.
If you were unable to attend, you can see C.R. Onsrud machines in action on their YouTube channel.
