A significant advancement in manufacturing technology has been achieved with the installation of a new V550 5-axis milling machine, complemented by an OPS MultiChange robot. This upgrade has been embraced by a valued customer based in North Carolina, signalling a transformative shift in their operational capabilities.

The addition of these machines marks a strategic move towards enhanced lights-out electrode production. This capability allows manufacturing processes to run uninterrupted and without manual oversight, thereby increasing efficiency and consistency.

In collaboration with their existing technical staff, hands-on training was provided by Lukasz Bucko, equipping the team with the necessary skills to incorporate this advanced technology into their daily operations seamlessly. This comprehensive training ensures that the workforce is not only familiar with the new machinery but also confident in maximizing its potential.

The installation reflects an industry-wide trend towards integrating upstream automation to meet growing demands. For businesses assessing future upgrades, this case exemplifies how such investments can redefine operational success and long-term sustainability.
