MR Mold and Engineering has undergone a significant transformation in its manufacturing process by adopting the Yasda YBM Vi40 machine. After years of relying on 3-axis milling machines, MR Mold recognised the need to evolve to maintain its competitive edge in the industry.
The previous manufacturing setup involved multiple operations and platforms, which proved to be time-consuming due to the various variables and processing operations. To streamline its processes, the team set an ambitious goal: to achieve complete net shape machining in a single operation.
The introduction of the Yasda YBM Vi40 has delivered impressive results. The company has reported a 75% reduction in the hours required to produce each stress ball cavity. Moreover, there has been a 40-hour reduction in both setups and machining and polishing times. These improvements mark a remarkable efficiency boost for the company.
Furthermore, MR Mold has now overcome the challenge of maintaining tight flash tolerances, which was previously a persistent issue.
This move highlights MR Mold’s commitment to innovation and precision in the manufacturing sector, as it seeks to streamline production and enhance product quality. Yasda Precision America Corporation, renowned for its high-precision machining tools, has provided MR Mold with the technology to achieve these advancements.
