Use flexible production technology Lucas Varity is made in body of ABS a powerful person on obtain successful United States to rest closely the Fowlerville of a city is prevent on the world adopt dead brake system (the main base that ABS) produces. The factory of the Kelsey-Hayes) before Lucas Varity(is produced every year for car plant and assemble here millions of ABS system, include general, overcome Laisile and Isuzu. This factory support is flexible the ABS system that production technology can provide all sorts of many different specs for different client. Increase what be contented demand ceaselessly, use machining center to be configured as unit, excel special product line. The plant manager Tom Sliwa of Fowlerville says:" Our crop already reached saturation. The basis produces demand and this factory building is built. "Incorporate when Varitykelsey Hayes and Lucas Industry when, the dear demand of the market also immediately increases, we also make the whole world immediately the 2nd big manufacturer of system of light-duty car stop a car. So the production function of this factory is mixed flexible the success that manufactures technology, became whole company target, into as crucial as what be defeated. This factory forms 11 production unit by machining center of horizontal of 66 Makino A55. This kind of configuration gives the production of the workshop more locomotive time and flexibility. John Hibbard of production assistant manager says:" Now the production of the factory won't because of some machine tool care and maintenance or change cutting tool and halt comes down. Come down when halt of line of a private plane normally when, the spare parts cannot help by the other plant of Lucas Varity make. And these manufacturing unit can produce different part easily. We can transform unit of a production inside 4 hours, machine different spare parts. We need to change only cutting tool, program and backup. And private plane line forever short of this kind is stretch. The " of ABS of ABS is in common person eye, body of ABS a powerful person suckles vinegar just like a Switzerland. "Production manager George Fredrickson says, 6 its have the blind aperture of all sorts of different deepness or via. However, use horizontal machining center to need twice to hold clip only, ordinal finish 3 in front, 3 treatment from the back. "Unit crop increases very fast, fowlerville factory everyday producible more than 10 thousand ABS. So big yield can bring experience of rich a surname aperture to Fowlerville factory. Shannon Eberly of production assistant manager says:" The key that Kong Jia is versed in depends on speed and precision, to achieve wants rate and precision, we use thick, energy two measure treatment, so aperture does not need semifinishing machining. Bore diameter is versed in in the Kong Jia of 7" less than precision is achieved 325 or lower. The majority attacks a tooth to also be finished on machining center. 155 machine tools also configure the lens that has thread to cut a function, make treatment efficiency more outstanding thereby. Machine the 1000Orpm of main shaft turn up of body of every aluminous a powerful person, material purify rate amounts to 100ipm. Treatment read body to use a variety of different cutting tool. Rough machining used hard alloy bit, finish machining is used enchase bit type cutting tool. However, use a variety of cutting tool to did not affect metre, because change knife time only 0. 8 to 0.
9 seconds. Reduce the frequency that hold clip and multitask outfit clip also shortened handling time. Hibbard says:" Two outfit clip is machined with respect to the spare parts that finish very effective. Rely on a part classification of spare parts a group of things with common features, we can hold clip 8. This also more the earth reduced handling time, raise yield. Installing clip to go to the lavatory also is a respect that manufacturing unit designs Yi Cao to make a gender. "Manufacturing unit learns easily simply, resemble TV game. "Hibbard says.
"Handlers needs to practice can learning slightly only. "Platoon bits implement it is very easy also to manage with cutting fluid, unit also uses collect mist implement the processing discharging bits with special design. The aluminous bits suitable chamfer of 66 machine tools enters subterranean cistern inside, the aluminous bit that can handle 500 pounds hourly and do not need personnel interference. The quality that produces quality dissolve ABS into crop Lucas Varity and stability bring into QS9000 standard. Stable quality end supports at manufacturing system. Lucas Varity wove be safeguarded comprehensively regularly and quality assures a program. Technician Charlie Schulte says:" These machine tool need run 24 hours all the day. To assure long-term and normal movement, we are used weekly, safeguard a program of every month, half an year to check regularly. We know this program is very important, it can make sure machining center works to exceed 95% on average normally. Production system is evaluated and QS9000 administrator Tory1miekinney also sees the effect that assures in the quality of Fowlerville factory. Kinney says: " after passing QS9000, we carried review a case 3 times, we were achieved do not have blemish absolutely 10 blemish. Although contrast our exacter tolerancepublic errand specifications, the percent of pass of body of ABS a powerful person that A55e produces is amounted to 992% . " " makes pair of first time and every time. "This maxim is shown to be in a lot of places of the factory, remind constantly employee and the person that look around. The quality attainment that is them attracted the person that the whole world looks around more than 1500 times every year to visit study. The ABS of world-class accomplishs Sliwa to be able to describe the future of the factory very quickly. "We will processed two a hot potatoes - growth and benefit. "He says, "Fowlerville factory only 6 months begin go into operation have profit. Accordingly, we satisfy attention the client more complex to the demand of crop and treatment product. This has challenge sex, but we should be improved ceaselessly achieve a goal. For example every production unit can achieve the result that goes more than even, and the performance merit of A55 machine tool cannot be done not have. So, want to obtain ceaseless progress, using newest equipment latest technology is a key. CNC Milling
