ITC continues its investment drive at MACH 2016
Over the last 12 months Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) has been following an aggressive growth strategy which has seen the Tamworth company increase its factory size by 50%, add both Rollomatic and GSE grinding centres, launch a new website, introduce new product lines through a new re-seller agreement with Big Kaiser and also expand the Widia offering.
MACH 2016 saw ITC make a purchase of the company's latest machine, a GSE HMT S-15 automated rod cutting machine. The latest acquisition was purchased to respond to increasing batch sizes of special, standard and stocked ranges of ITC products. Whilst achieving this, the GSE also provides improved efficiencies with its 'full automation' mode that will permit lights-out processing of carbide rods.
ITC's production manager Kevin Ford commented: "Whilst we buy much of our carbide rod already cut to length for standard product ranges, a lot of special and bespoke tools are required in non-standard lengths. Cutting each carbide blank takes anything up to five to six minutes and we currently have an operator continuously cutting carbide rod on our existing semi-automatic machine.
The new GSE HMT S-15 will automate the process and free-up time for our operator to take on new, less repetitive tasks."
