Herker Industries Poised for Growth with Equipment Acquisition
March 9th, 2010
Economical manufacturing has never been more critical as businesses seek new ways to remain competitive. Herker Industries, a leader in precision machined parts, mechanical assemblies and contract welding, has poised itself to increase business and extend the value of efficient production to its customers, helping to build their profitability. The growth opportunity comes in the form of an advanced CNC turning center, the Nakamura-Tome Super NTM3. Herker acquired the equipment for its proven performance of high quality production at tremendous speed. The increased capability provides original equipment manufacturers (OEM) with machined assemblies for end products ranging from medical devices to agricultural equipment, at highly competitive prices.
In the past five years, Herker has reinvested over $5,000,000 to offer versatility through technologically advanced equipment for the changing demands of its customers. Herker's contract manufacturing operation is customized to meet unique customer needs. From process design and production layout, to supply chain management that delivers quality products on a just-in-time basis at competitive costs, Herker offers a complete solution to a wide range of manufacturing industries.
"As part of our commitment to continually improve technology, we've expanded our offering with an investment in the latest generation equipment and machining process," said Dennis Driscoll, vice president of sales for Herker Industries. "By staying on the cutting edge, we're able to provide high quality products with quicker turnaround and pass the cost savings on to our customers. We're constantly striving to do things better while maintaining our strong business position."
The Nakamura-Tome Super NTM3 PC-G is a state-of-the-art CNC turning center proven to increase productivity and decrease milling and turning production costs. The three-turret multi-tasking machine achieves faster production by improving through-put, minimizing set-up time and eliminating operations. NTM3 advanced programming provides computerized simulated 3-D modeling for quick turn-around. With consolidated machining, simultaneous production is executed within one NTM3 turning center, increasing capabilities and reducing cycle time.
Powerful first machining and repetitive machining are executed to exacting accuracy and high rigidity by the NTM3, even in hard turning applications. High precision, tight tolerance milling and turning of tough materials is handled rapidly and flawlessly through advanced equipment and computer programming. Nakamura-Tome Super NTM3 CNC turning center features include:
- Opposed two spindle, three turret construction
- Two upper turrets equipped with "Y"-axes
- All turrets equipped with Mill/Drill capabilities
- Maximum capacity of 72 fixed tools and 36 driven tools for milling
- Bar stock capacity range of 2mm to 65mm
- 12-foot auto loading bar feeder
Economies gained from NTM3 lights-out production allow Herker to extend lower costs to customers. The high value of increased quality production for less means OEMs can be competitive. Herker has been successful for nearly 60 years through its niche of versatility and customer commitment. Company owners recognize that success lies in finding viable solutions to changing demands.
Herker Industries, in business since 1952, is a world-class leader in precision machining, mechanical assemblies and contract welding. Located in a comprehensive 130,000-square foot manufacturing facility, Herker sets itself apart as a versatile company committed to exceeding customer expectations.
