P.S. Auto Grinding: The least finishing is the best finishing
Automatic Grinding Specialist Surges Ahead
P.S. Autogrinding: Finishing costs drastically reduced with automatic grinding machines
Information
Company Profile
Now marketed worldwide, Series 400 and 500 have combined sales of over 2000 machines and outsell its nearest competitors by over 5:1. 90% of PS Auto Grinding Limited foundry clients repurchase after buying their first machine. This is testament to the product performance, return on investment, and Award Winning back up service which comes as standard.
How Does it Work: Series 400 & 500 were designed to replace traditional grinding by hand tools, fixed machines and band saw with an automated, simple to operate system with an effective tooling system. There are four significant advantages that make the system the simplest, most effective, safest and best selling available on the market.
Money: Two comparable foundries with similar outputs and castings in the EU zone were compared in 2011. One Foundry continued with its traditional hand grinding operation costing over €1,000,000 per year to operate. The second Foundry bought three Series 400 machines, on a five year lease plan and reduced their costs to just over €500,000 per year, potentially saving €2,500,000 over five years and having 3 assets that would give another 10 years operation seamlessly. Another foundry decided to grind in-house after previously outsourcing grinding realised that they could save €240,000 per year by using 2 Series 400 machines and pay off the cost of capital in less than 2 years. With one machine being at least 2-3 times faster and one operator being able to easily work up to three machines in a 'cell' it is easy to see the financial gains available from this technology. Faster: Much faster than traditional grinding. One machine can be 2-3 times faster than a grinder and work constantly 23 hours a day, 7 days a week. Cost per casting ground can be reduced by more than 50%. Bottlenecks due to labour problems are reduced. Series 400 & 500 can cut and grind in one operation often eliminating the need for separate work stations. Less labour is required to produce more output reducing both direct cost and indirect management costs such as Training, HR, Health and Safety. Better: Castings are produced to a 100% consistency. The quality of grinding produced by Series 400 & 500 is so consistent that inspection is virtually eliminated and rejections of scrap castings are greatly reduced. This saves cost as well as reducing the supervision and support staff normally associated with grinding operations. Any variances or misfits 'upstream' in the casting process are highlighted much faster than hand grinding therefore allowing rapid correction avoiding as much large batch rejections and recasting as possible. Foundries are reporting that major customers in sectors such as Automotive and Transport are requesting that Automatic Grinding Systems are in place. Manufacturers such as Renault recognise that foundries with this technology are both the lowest cost and highest quality. Lower accidents are also a factor they consider. New order winning due to competitive costs and excellent quality due to investments such as Series 400 & 500 is helping foundries such as Castings plc. in UK (37 Series 400 & 500) prosper in very hard and competitive markets. Easier: Programs can be written by non skilled workers in as little as two hours with no previous programming skill. Foundries report that they have hundreds of programs and that they can change from one casting to another in literally minutes. It takes one day to install a new Series 400 & 500 and having it running at production compared to adapted robotic systems. Safer: Good Health and Safety is good business. Foundries report greatly reduced costs due to fewer accidents, less absenteeism, less training and management of Health and Safety, and benefits with insurance premiums. This simply is achieved by automating the cutting and grinding process in a sealed unit therefore taking the possibilities of eye and hand injuries, vibration related diseases and respiratory issues away. Improving and proactive Management of Health and Safety can be a major factor when attempting to win work from major suppliers. PSAG Only Want Delighted Customers The minimum standards set by our Founder and Managing Director is that all customers must be delighted with our products from both a technical point of view and be delighted that the investment in Series 400 & 500 is a very good decision. Series 400 & 500 Automatic Grinding Machines have many benefits but in order to establish that we can offer a solution the following process normally occurs;
