Coming up on its 80th anniversary, Wiscon Products knows that longevity requires a willingness to invest in new technologies and evolve processes. Take the company’s investment in CNC multi-spindles. Prior to adoption of that technology, Wiscon had a family of parts that required processes across six different machines with a total cycle time of 2.5 minutes. Moving the parts to an MS Series multi-spindle slashed cycle time to 28 seconds. More importantly, it allowed them to be machined in one setup, eliminating costly, time-consuming management of work-in-progress through the shop.

Even when you can fully machine a part in a single setup, there may be a need for secondary operations, such as cleaning or inspection. That’s an area where iXcenter can provide a big advantage. Directly integrated with the machine, iXcenter provides closed-loop automation that can unload finished parts, as well as incorporate additional processes. Check out the video to see how iXcenter enables automated part measurement for components produced on a C100 production turning center! #index #productionturning #automation #ixcenter #betterpartsfaster https://hubs.li/Q02ZCgSB0

How much could you grow if each of your operators could manage four to six times as many machines as they're responsible for today? That’s the practical impact of investing in CNC multi-spindles. Hit the link for an overview of the current state of multi-spindle technology, then contact your INDEX rep if the skilled labor shortage is a bottleneck for what you company could achieve. #index #cncmultispindles #msseries #betterpartsfaster https://hubs.li/Q02Zczc50

Did you know that some manufacturers invest in an R Series CNC turn mill for parts that don’t even have any turned features? If you’re familiar with these machines, you might not find that surprising, given their dual 5-axis milling spindles. When you’ve got to produce a part with demanding tolerances and complex geometries on both its front and back, it’s hard to beat the performance of an R machine. Check out the R300 at the link and let us know if you’re looking for a better way to machine extremely challenging part geometries! #index #rseries #cncturnmills #dual5axis #betterpartsfaster https://hubs.li/Q02Z6DVJ0

We're excited to share an early look at the latest project at our North American HQ in Noblesville, Indiana. With our increasing commitment to training and workforce development, it became obvious that the scope of what we have planned will require more than our current training area. So we consolidated and compacted some of our existing storage space to transform a corner of our showroom into a new, 2-level training department. Construction has started and this new, state-of-the-art space will be completed in early 2025! #index #training #workforcedevelopment #mfgcareers #betterpartsfaster
