CNC Automation & Lights-Out Machining
Buying a pallet system is the easy part. Getting it running unattended, night after night, is where most shops struggle. We specialise in programming and setting up fully automated 4 and 5-axis machining centres, from GF Machining Solutions machines with System 3R pallets to the Matsuura MX-520 PC4.
We look after the details that decide whether a cell runs lights out: workholding and zero-point systems, grid plates, standard tool libraries, tool life management, swarf and coolant management, production scheduling, and holding tolerances over long unattended runs.
Recent projects include commissioning two automated GF 5-axis machines for Pulse Engineering, ready to run 24/7, and getting SA Manufacturing’s new Matsuura to run every pallet unattended on its first night.
