Before investing, the exact requirements should be thoroughly analysed. Studies have shown that evaluations are often too superficial and short-sighted. For a great many workpieces and portfolios, the CNC rotary table is a truly sleek, attractively priced, and simultaneously highly productive solution, unfortunately just not as „fashionable“ as a 5-axis machine or a horizontal machining centre. Why isn't the „Lean Production“ approach also used for „Lean Investment“?
Advantages
Various lean approaches are excellently supported by a fitted CNC turntable:
– standard machinery, available at short notice, which can be resold on the market at any time, instead of capital-intensive special solutions or restricted complete machining centres
– finely scalable in very manageable investments between £100,000…£200,000 instead of between £500,000…£1,000,000
– easily repairable in case of malfunction or damage (spare parts available everywhere)
– less energy wastage thanks to smaller moving masses (according to the benchmark, approx. -60 to -80%)
– takes up less space (according to the benchmark, approx. -50%)
Frequently Asked Questions
How does investing in pL LEHMANN modular CNC rotary tables support me in our Lean project?
Answer: Every kilogram of weight saved, every euro saved, and every square metre of floor space not used reduces my waste. In addition, the energy required in operation is less, and the travel and handling movements are often shorter.
