Improved Precision and Reliability Improve Profitability at Franchino Mold

Hear Franchino Mold’s leadership team discuss how investments in six Makino F5 vertical machining centers helped the company maintain its leadership in the production of die-cast and plastic injection molds. Through these investments, the company was able to decrease cycle times, improve tool life and significantly reduce maintenance costs, while holding tolerances of plus or minus 0.0002 inch. Downtime for repairs or maintenance was also improved by 100 percent. Makino also assisted Franchino in training employees and providing process improvements with their machinery.
