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).

 

Implementing PORTA Production Method, we can do in a single process what old methods and transfer machines took several operations to do.

Furthermore, thanks to this Method, we improved the production management of our valves, gaining productivity on our CNC machines.

 

The positive results achieved with PORTA Production Method are a significant improvement in set-up time, equal to 15 minutes (sometimes, the change is even zero within the same family of valves), easier tooling operations of the machine, which do not require a highly qualified operator, and, last but not least, the optimization of the occupied area.
