Are You Getting World Class Design From Your Machine Tool Manufacturer?

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL, December 21, 2020  

People throw out a lot of words when marketing these days. It’s hard to sift through fact or fiction. When a manufacturer states they offer world class design of their machine tools, what exactly should you be looking for in that company?

World class design is more than just taking a large, complex design and manufacturing it to exact standards. World class design is a culture within the organization, focused on the customer and helping them navigate the best design of their parts to save them time and money.

What Does World Class Design Mean?

Several factors stand out in companies that truly offer world class design in CNC machine tool manufacturing.

1. The company invests in R&D

Machine tool technology is rapidly evolving. Being able to make machining easier through improved automation should be a core focus. Having a continual dedication to R&D means the company is always looking for a better way to improve.

Shibaura Machine allots 2% of annual revenue towards R&D. This allows us to continually improve the machine tools we build for customers.

2. Machine tools built with a purpose

Whether you are looking to manufacture high-precision parts or one-off prototypes, you want to be assured your machine tool is built with purpose. Each machine design should be purposely built to solve a manufacturing problem with its end-use at the top of our minds.

Shibaura Machine listens to our customer’s requirements and concerns. In part, we can respond with improvements and innovative machine tools to keep them competitive. 

3. Increased productivity

World-class design means you can expect improved productivity for the long haul. Innovative automation can offer to reduce downtime for setup and greatly contributes to a reduction in the labor time required to produce the final output.

Shibaura Machine realizes that one of the biggest challenges manufacturers face is improving productivity. To us, increasing productivity means not only speed but providing machine tools that are reliable and able to perform heavy-duty machining without losing the capability to be very accurate for high precision parts.
