Here at Fullerton, we're passionate about generating cost savings for our customers and creating custom tooling solutions specific to our customers' needs. Here is a recent success that incorporates both and is a great example of how our custom tooling solutions can revolutionize manufacturing processes and drive significant cost savings.
Problem:
Our customer, a high-volume manufacturer, was looking to improve efficiency and reduce costs. They were using 361 tools annually for this single operation which required a substantial amount of tool changes.
Solution:
Our team scooped in, designed, and manufactured a custom drill, chamfer, back chamfer cutting tool that eliminated the need for 3 tools with this 1 unique tool design. This single tool allowed our customer to drill, chamfer, and then back chamfer with no tool changes; resulting in less time setting up tooling, a reduction in the amount of tooling needed, and an overall reduction in their total cost per piece. The best part? We were also able to help them save over $114,000 a year with this tool swap-out.
Drill, Chamfer, Back Chamfer
