Case Study

Automated Precision Transfer Machines take Titanium Part Production to Next Level

Mitotec Precision produces high-quality, complex components for a wide range of OEMs across various industries. Faced with rising demand for a titanium part, the company turned to Hydromat for a solution---two FORCE Hybrid 32/45-16 CNC rotary transfer machines.

Challenges solved by:

  • Struggling to meet increasing demand
  • Facing skilled labor shortage
  • Possible costly expansion need

Results

  • New equipment produces 10x output

  • Standardizing with FANUC boosts efficiency


  • Accuracy and repeatability improves quality

Story

Mitotec Precision produces high-quality, complex components for a wide range of OEMs across various industries. Faced with rising demand for a titanium part, the company turned to Hydromat for a solution---two FORCE CNC rotary transfer machines.

Equipped with the FANUC Series 30i-B CNC, which integrates a FANUC LR Mate 200iD robot for automatic machine tending, the machines produce 10 times more parts compared to Mitotec’s other equipment.

Because of their accuracy and precision, the new machines produce better quality parts, minimizing the need for secondary operations and significantly optimizing efficiency. Additionally, by standardizing on FANUC controls, Mitotec benefits from increased productivity and smoother operations. Additionally, by standardizing on FANUC controls, Mitotec benefits from increased productivity and smoother operations—leveraging features like the Servo Learning Oscillation function to enable easier and safer chip disposal.

Through its commitment to precision, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology, Mitotec now produces higher volumes of higher-quality titanium parts at a competitive price.

Machining centers are a huge capital investment, and we really expect those capital investments not to go five years, not to go ten years, but 15, 20 years down the road. With FANUC and their support for parts down the line, that's really important for us. Because we're going to rely on these machining centers for many years to come to be a successful profit stream for us.
