As GKD continues to grow, our latest multi-tasking cell is helping to maximize production and increase our efficiencies. Our 2 new Okuma LB4000 EX II MY’s are equipped with SMW Autoblock power chucks, live tool turrets with Y-Axis, and programmable LNS Autoblock Steady Rests & tailstocks. These highly versatile mill/turn centers are bringing dramatic reductions in setup and run times by merging part processing operations, and allowing GKD to complete turning, milling, drilling, thread milling and broaching operations in a single setup. Our super skilled journeyman machinist Keno Aquino is at the helm, and has been an integral part in helping with our continuous improvement initiatives. With our next new machining cell in the planning phase, we are also looking to retire some of our older Haas and Okuma CNC turning and milling centers, know anyone who might be interested?
Excellent progress milestone for your strategic planning. WELL DONE!
