Greenfield have recently added a new 12 RB series Timesaver to complement the different options of blank finishing. This finish can be offered on punched or lasered components. The fabrication department had increased staff, manually grinding and cleaning certain parts as they came into the fabrication area increasing production manufacturing times. A specific customer requested, a large product run needed an extra scratch burr free surface and edge finish to meet high quality specs in downstream processes. This led to us looking at different machine models best suited for flat part finishing to suit Greenfield’s metal fabricating requirements.
Gary Burnard, Managing Director said: “Our customers want to see our ability to respond quickly to a production request and continue to build on our existing capabilities internally. This project was costed and operational within a relatively short amount of time thanks to Timesaver pulling out all the stops to get the new machine delivered and commissioned.”
