|
ACF Machine, Inc., Union, Missouri, has recently instal led a new Citizen L720 CNC Swiss turning center. The firm, operating since 1992, specializes in production CNC turning. It started out in Art Fink's garage with a single piece of equipment. Today, Fink's firm has five employees in a 6,000-sq.-ft. facility with five pieces of CNC equipment. Each piece has a sub-spindle and live tooling. Above (1-r): ACF's Doug Kappelmann, McClain Machine Tool's Gene Jacobs & ACF's Art Fink. The new seven-axis Citizen Swiss turning center, purchased through McClain Machine Tool Solutions in St. Louis, features: a 10,000 rpm spindle; 18 tools (seven live); 700 series Mitsubishi Windows controls; bar capacity up to 20mm (3/4"); and a CAVL20 magazine barfeeder. Fink noted that ACF Machine purchased the new Swiss turning center for the speed, efficiency and quality it offered, and to keep up with the company's growth. He especially likes the unmanned capabilities that it provides and that it is all Servo controlled (no pneumatics or hydraulics). The company, which is ISO compliant, produces small to large production runs from all standard metals and most plastics in many shapes and configurations. They can also work with customers on parts design and development. ACF serves a wide range of commercial and industrial customers throughout the mid-America region. When asked about what accounts for ACF Machine's success and growth Fink stated, "Good customer relationships along with our industry knowledge and expertise." Fink and Shop Manager Doug Kappelmann combine for almost 45 years of manufacturing experience. http://www.c-n-c-machine.blogspot.com/ |
