Article: Speed is life: increased production speed for a family-owned shop doubled sales in six months.(FABRICATION)

Stephen Morin, managing partner of 4-M Precision Stamping, Inc., Auburn, NY, and his staff spent eight months in search of a punch press and press brake that would add fabricating capacity to their business. They looked for equipment with the highest throughput and fastest print-to-prototype time. They found it in a high-speed, high-performance, 30-ton CNC turret punch press and precision servo-controlled hydraulic press brake with an adaptive forming device manufactured by Strippit/LVD, Akron, NY. The combination of punching and bending technology helped Morin and his staff expand their fabrication business and double sales in six months.
