Such a powerful system required some training, so Senga representatives visited Mori Seiki’s Digital Technology Labora- tory (DTL) twice to get the guidance they needed to make the most of it.
“The service we get from Ellison Technologies is great, but they were a little new to the system as well, so I went to DTL to get help with some of my more technical questions, and that was very helpful,” said Lee.
Mori Seiki’s NMV 5000 DCG (right foreground) universal milling machine provides precision capability for five-sided/five-axis machining.
machines, each of which is equipped with a 280-station toolchanger. The combination created what the company calls “a productivity powerhouse” that allows machinists to store multiple setups for faster, more efficient production.
“The advantage of the LPP is that when you set up a part, you can store the setup, and the next time you run, just call it back,” said Irion. “Or you can run multiple setups at the same time. The more we run repeat jobs, the more time we save with the LPP.” Irion cited a recent example of a program that required one
60-part monthly shipment—each containing six different part numbers. “We’ve had this program for about four months now, and each part setup takes about nine hours,” said Irion. “With the six part numbers, that’s 54 hours of setup each month. In
