| CNC Grinding Cell Cuts Leadtimes
The grinding department at L. H. Carbide (Fort Wayne, Indiana) is no stranger to CNC grinding. But CNC equipment has tended to be under-used here. The shop machines carbide components to accuracies of ±0.0001 inch that are used in the company's complex, progressive stamping dies. Usually these components are machined in such small batches that the company can't justify a large investment in NC programming time. |

| Grinding Camshafts
Grinding camshafts for North American auto makers is a challenging business — even more challenging if your focus is on new engine launches, such as the reinvented Dodge HEMI, upon which Chrysler has a lot riding. You’ll find the HEMI in the new Dodge Ram, Durango, as well as other soon-to-come vehicles such as the rear wheel drive Chrysler 300C and Dodge Magnum. Camshafts for these vehicles are produced exclusively by Krupp Presta, of Danville, IL. |

| Automatic
Back Spotfacing Tools
ERIX tool saves up to 90% of the manufacturing time on back spotfacing and chamfering operations compared to conventional methods. The patented tool comprises a spindle with a cutter, called a wing, which folds into the spindle recess when the tool passes through the hole in the workpiece. Standard sizes range from 4,5 mm or 3/16" to 69 mm or 2-11/16" hole diameter. |

| A Lean Enterprise Work In Process
No manufacturer can claim to be a perfectly lean entity. After all, lean manufacturing is a never-ending practice of identifying and eliminating all sources of muda—lean-speak for waste. Companies can complete a wholesale "attitude adjustment," though, in terms of conscientiously hunting that which consumes resources but delivers no value to the customer. Crane Cams (Daytona Beach, Florida) is a good example of a company with this mindset.
