Story
Wilson Manufacturing needed to replace their manual sharpening process to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the end products. In many cases, the precision required was beyond the scope of human capabilities, which led them to pursue an automated solution. They partnered with FANUC to develop a custom system that allowed them to automate the sharpening process and remain flexible for future jobs. As a result, Wilson Manufacturing has experienced a drastic improvement in the quality, consistency, and efficiency of their operations.
FANUC really went above and beyond in providing us with excellent, fast, and consistent support. The professionalism, the experience, and the skill of the people we were working with was all superb. And that’s an opinion that’s widely shared among my team.
