The machining center with 3 independent spindles is the right compromise between productivity and flexibility. We have several parts that rotate on this machine, from small batches (500/1,000 parts) to larger ones (15,000/20,000 parts). (more…)
BÖME S.r.l.
Eng. Carlo Medina | Owner - 5
The implementation of PORTA Production Method and an all-round departmental approach let me face and carry on the production of small batches, without stopping the production of larger orders. (more…)
OMB SALERI S.p.A.
Alessandro Ronchi | Production & Lean Manager - 5
Working parts on a horizontal machining center, in order to compensate for tool changes and to have a barely acceptable cycle time, we placed more parts per cube and, being forged or cast parts, we had repeatability problems. (more…)
MI.GA.L S.r.l.
Fabio Ghidini | Production Manager - 4
Adopting PORTA Production Method, we have reduced waste, production costs and delivery times, thanks to the speed of retooling. Excellent results have been noticed in terms of speed in productivity and quality of the finished part. (more…)
KÜHR GmbH
Dr. Alexander Ostertag | Owner/CEO - 5
Before it was impossible to work with a single solution on the six faces of my part with some inclined holes. Now it is a reality, thanks to the use of standard tooling. (more…)
F.LLI TOGNELLA S.p.A.
Ferruccio Tognella | Owner/Technical Director - 5
Before, having to make the part in stages, we had problems related to dents, critical thicknesses, burrs. Then, thanks to PORTA Production Method, we had the opportunity to optimize the cycle, solving problems related to quality and cycle time. (more…)
CAVAGNA GROUP S.p.A. – OMECA BRANCH
Giuliano Pintossi | Production Manager - 5
Before discovering PORTA Production Method, I faced up to long tooling times and cycle times, which did not allow an immediate production change. The aim was to machine as many parts as possible by increasing the stock in the warehouse (and therefore costs!). (more…)
VALVOMEC S.r.l.
Giuseppe Suranna | Toolmaker/Machine Operator - 5
I had problems related to the part loading and the downtime of tool changes; to perform all the machining of the part I had to equip several machines. Now, I load the part on the free pallet, while the units are working. (more…)
KRAMER ITALIA S.r.l.
Eng. Marco Stradiotti | Production Manager - 5
With a horizontal center we were unable to deal with our workload, made of lots of parts and relatively small batches. It would have been necessary to purchase two additional machining centers, increasing also the workforce operating the machines. (more…)
KOMET AUSTRIA GmbH
Arno Drechsel | Owner - 5
Our production is so varied, both in terms of kind of pieces and lot sizes (from a few units to tens of thousands of parts). For the production we mainly used machining centers for medium-small series and transfer machines for big quantities. (more…)
BONOMI EUGENIO S.p.A. – BONOMI GROUP
Fabio Nicoli | Plant Manager - 5
Our complex manufacturing required multiple machining stages on transfer machines, with long and complicated tooling operations. Furthermore, it was difficult to maintain a good quality standard due to the need to carry out manual deburring processes. (more…)
GIACOMINI S.p.A.
Vincenzo Crocco | Production Manager - 5
The inflexibility of the transfer caused problems in the working options and production capacity of our diverter valves, which require multiple operations on several occasions. Moreover, we had significant downtime and long set-up times (around 1.5-2 hours). (more…)
