New WEDM Machine & Shared Cell Automation

We’re excited to announce that CaviTech Solutions Ltd. has recently installed a new Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) unit integrated with a shared-cell robot automation. This investment strengthens our manufacturing capacity, improves machine utilisation, and accelerates throughput across our production lines.

 

 

Why This Investment Matters.

 

• Higher utilisation: The shared-cell robot allows one operator to serve multiple machines and enables continuous run-time with automated loading/unloading, increasing effective machine hours.

 

• Greater throughput: Reduced non-productive time mean more parts produced per shift, resulting in critical path items making there way through the department faster.

 

• Flexible production: The shared-cell design supports quick changeovers and batch flexibility for diverse part types and volumes.

 

• Improved safety and efficiency: Automation reduces manual handling and repetitive tasks, improving workplace safety and operator efficiency.

 

What customers can expect

 

With this new capability we not only increase the speed and throughput of the WEDM department, allowing us to open up production bottlenecks, but also increase the machine up-time due to the shared automation. This allows us to maintain our standards for high accuracy and consistency, while increasing our capacity and capacity planning to deliver better lead times for our customers.
