IMC/Teddy Ushers in New HSLX 2006 Shear
With IMC’s new press brake fully in place & operational, it was time to evaluate the other major, aging equipment in the factory for a much needed upgrade. The next item on the agenda was the shear. With that said, IMC has acquired a brand new shear to join our lineup.
So, how did this exactly come about & what does this mean for you? Let’s break it down.
“A Dull Knife Will Cut You Faster Than a Sharp One”
Previously, IMC was using a WYSONG P28-131 shear. The shear was in the rotation since the 1970s & has performed thousands of cuts since then. With manual operation, it had quite a large learning curve & required precision knowledge to get the right cut. Over time, accurate cutting became more difficult for our staff. It was time to upgrade to a more modern machine.
A Cut Above
We chose a replacement shear, HACO HSLX 2006. HACO’s HSL(X) model series is well known in the manufacturing industry for accurate cuts, exceptional efficiency & long term reliability. HSLX 2006 is a hydraulic based machine with a digital control panel interface, a giant step up from the previous WYSONG model. IMC’s team quickly went to training & picked up the operation quite swiftly.
What Does This Mean for You?
With the new shear operating, IMC is committed to producing tailor made products that will work for your application. With higher efficiency, we hope this will speed up operations & throughput. The new shear also allows certain cuts to the stainless steel, making new custom products a possibility now.
We will continue exploring other upgrades in the factory over the next several months – so stay tuned! In the meantime, to learn more about IMC click here.
