An International tool manufacturing company was spending
approximately £50,000 p.a maintaining the bearings
of 70 grinding machines. The failure rate, labour, component
reclamation and scrap rate content was, obviously, unacceptably
high.
City Seals and Bearings were asked to investigate...
Solution...
At a total of £5,040 (£72.00 per grinder),
we redesigned the assembly utilising a different bearing
type. The result was dramatic!
The customer reports greatly reduced down-time, reclamation
and bearing failure. Their figures report an estimated
annual saving in the region of... £250,000!!!
