this part, the hand grinding was slow, complex and generated a high rate of re-work and scrap. Once the plant pro- cessed this part in the CNC grinder, Fimex achieved high productivity and quality in both products thanks to the repeatability of this process. Fimex has seen the benefi t of using a
CNC grinder for fi nishing on high pro- duction parts, high quality and highly complex parts, allowing it to become increasingly competitive and off er higher quality products to the interna- tional market. Now Fimex is prepared for the future when the economy reacti- vates and high production returns. Still, Fimex is continuing to look
every day to make this process more effi cient and integrate a greater amount of parts to take full advantage of this new technology.

The second-hand machine was acquired by Fimex in 2014 and had worked in England.
