Lock Hardware Manufacturer — 320T Machine with Servo Feeding
A residential and commercial lock hardware manufacturer wanted to bring a family of cylinder plate components in-house after years of outsourcing to a fine blanking subcontractor.
The Challenge
Outsourced lead times of 6-8 weeks were limiting the customer's ability to respond to demand spikes, and per-part cost included a subcontractor margin the customer wanted to eliminate.
The Solution
- HF320 fine blanking press sized to the part family's tonnage and table-size requirements
- Servo coil feeding line for thin-gauge, high-speed production
- Die design service covering three cylinder plate variants sharing a common die base
- Two-day operator training program covering routine changeover between variants
The Result
Lead time for these components dropped from weeks to same-week internal production, with per-part cost reduced by eliminating subcontractor margin.
