August has seen the installation and commissioning of our robot on the new Mazak 200MSY lathe we installed in late 2024.
This unit is an Agile Flex 12D robot and has given us the ability to work the machine unattended for long production runs. We have a variety of parts that we manufacture in quantity and now, with this new addition, we can keep manufacturing costs down as low as possible. Unfortunately, Australia still has one of the highest electricity costs in the world and this is despite having some of the Worlds largest deposits of natural gas, coal and uranium.
We have installed a 100kW solar system on our workshop roof which does help keep the electricity costs within reason during daylight running.
