WaterSaver Faucet Company use Nakamura machines for unmanned operations and reduced cycle time

Today on MTDCNC, we’re talking up to 70% reduced cycle time with Nakamura at WaterSaver Faucet Company. Interviewed by Tony Gunn, Michael Van Hout from WaterSaver tells us how their investment in a Nakamura twin-turret and the new addition of a bar feed have allowed the company to machine parts complete in one operation and add more tooling. The Nakamura offers 24 tools and split operations to run two turrets on a single spindle, resulting in reduced cycle time and increased uptime. Specialty live tooling gives the ability to drill and tap parts at different angles. The combination of two turrets and a 12-foot bar feeder helps WaterSaver run jobs complete and achieve unmanned running overnight. With Methods Machine Tools as their partner, WaterSaver receive great customer support for their investments. If you’re looking to get into automation, a Nakamura bar feeder is the simplest and most effective way to run lathes unmanned!
